London expected to move from 'medium' to 'high' alert restrictions from 12am on Saturday under the new tiered system announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier this week.
Millions of people will be banned from mixing indoors, with London due to be placed under tier 2 COVID-19 restrictions from this weekend.
London will move from tier 1 to tier 2, or from "medium" to "high" alert, from 12:00am on Saturday under the new tiered system announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson earlier this week. Mr Khan, who foreshadowed a tightening of restrictions in London earlier this week, said there was "simply no other option" as coronavirus infections were spreading "rapidly" in the capital.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock is expected to address Parliament later on Thursday to announce the changes.
