On Boxing Day Oxfordshire entered Tier 4. The tougher restrictions mean you cannot leave your house unless you have a reasonable excuse , you cannot meet anyone from another household indoors, and non-essential retail and hospitality must close unless they serve takeaways or run a click and collect service.

GLYN PLESTED: “Tier 4 is not much change from Tier 2. “The Nightingale Hospitals been dismantled, vaccines in some areas disposed of as people do not turn up, these are more newsworthy items. “Where has the equipment gone from the Nightingale Hospitals, who has it, or sold it? Tiers is a minor detail compared to this in the height of a major pandemic.”
