Coronavirus: Republic of Ireland to move to highest restrictions

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54596783

Cabinet ministers have agreed to level five restrictions from midnight on Wednesday in a bid to combat the rise in cases.

The restrictions are to last for six weeks but will be reviewed after four.

Under the rules, people will only be able to exercise within 5km (3 miles) of their home.

The government has confirmed there will be a penalty for travel beyond that distance, with exemptions for essential work and essential purposes.

However, schools and creches will remain open and elite sport and construction will continue.
I know that the RoI is not the UK, but it is, in many respects, our closest neighbour, so what happens there will interest many UK citizens with ties to the country.

Further details are in the article.

Covid: Noon deadline approaches for Manchester coronavirus deal

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54609165

Greater Manchester has been under local restrictions since July. Greater Manchester leaders have been given a deadline of midday to reach a deal with the government over moving to tier three Covid restrictions. If a deal is not reached, Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick said the PM would decide on the next steps.

Mr Burnham told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he would be meeting with local leaders this morning and would advise them to set out the request in a letter to the government. The government and local leaders - including mayors and MPs - have been embroiled in 10 days of talks over moving Greater Manchester's 2.8m population from tier two to the highest restrictions.

Greater Manchester to move to Tier 3 restrictions from Friday

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54622293

Greater Manchester is currently under tier two rules, meaning pubs and restaurants must close at 22:00, there is no household mixing indoors and the rule of six applies outdoors.

But under tier three rules - currently only applied to Lancashire and the Liverpool City Region - pubs and bars not serving substantial meals have to close, household mixing is banned both indoors and outdoors, and there is guidance against travelling in or out of the area.

Ahead of the Downing Street press conference, Mr Burnham - speaking alongside other local leaders - said that without an additional £65m in support, tighter measures "would be certain to increase levels of poverty, homelessness and hardship".
BJ spends £100,000,000,000 on furlough, £20,000,000,000 on hospitals and £12,000,000,000 on testing but is not prepared to pay an extra £5,000,000 to Manchester .....

Any work, required to keep the wolves from the door is surely essential.

Re: Coronavirus: Second wave of Covid-19 coming to UK, says PM

In brief (more details on the ONS Survey thread):

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54659029

Coronavirus infections continue to rise across the UK, according to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics - new cases (recorded and unrecorded) have risen to more than 35,200 a day in England.

Around 1 in 130 people you might meet in the street in England had coronavirus in the week to 16 October. This compares with 1 in 180 in Wales and Scotland, and 1 in 100 in Northern Ireland.
The ONS figures are based on a survey of people in random households whether they have symptoms or not, giving one of the most accurate pictures of the epidemic.

Re: Coronavirus: Second wave of Covid-19 coming to UK, says PM

Hi

You can drill down to very local levels.

In Shropshire the rolling infection rate is 89 per 100,000, in my local area it is 39 per 100,000.

In my immediate area, less than 3 cases.
