More areas of England could move to Tier 4 Covid restrictions on Boxing Day MORE areas of England could be put into Tier 4 from Boxing Day. Reports have suggested ministers will meet today, December 23, to decide whether more parts of the country would be put under the toughest restrictions amid fears over the spread of a new mutant strain of coronavirus. It came as France lifted its travel ban and allowed journeys from the UK to resume, but said those seeking to travel must have a negative coronavirus test result.
