Covid-19: New restrictions to be announced for parts of England 'within days' - Jenrickhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54463081
A three-tier system for local lockdowns is also likely to be announced.
Under the system, different parts of the country would be placed in different categories - although ministers are still discussing the precise details of the toughest level of restrictions over the next couple of days.
A final decision on the time period or extent of potential closures has not yet been made and a formal announcement is not likely to come until Monday.
It comes as North of England and Midlands MPs have been briefed by health ministers and chief medical officer Chris Whitty about the latest coronavirus data.

Covid rules: How will the three-tier lockdown system work?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-52530518
Every area will be classified as being on medium, high or very high alert - tiers one, two and three.
What are the restrictions in the different tiers?
Areas with the lowest rates of infection will be placed in Tier One. They will face the basic national rules currently in force including:
- Pubs, bars and restaurants will have to close at 22:00 BST
- The rule of six (number of people who can meet up) applies both indoors and outdoors
Areas in Tier Two face an extra level of restrictions:
- No mixing between different households indoors
- The rule of six only continues outdoors
Most areas of England which are already subject to local restrictions will be placed in Tier Two - although some places will face additional restrictions for the first time.
The areas in Tier Two are:
Cheshire
Greater Manchester
Derbyshire
Lancashire
West Yorkshire
South Yorkshire
North East
Tees Valley
West Midlands
Leicester
Nottingham
The highest level of restrictions are in Tier Three. Areas where transmission is rising most rapidly will be placed in this category.
The prime minister said the Liverpool City Region (Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Wirral, St Helens and Halton) - currently the only area facing Tier Three restrictions - will have the following restrictions from Wednesday 14 October:
- Pubs and bars will be closed, except where serving substantial meals
- Households cannot mix indoors or outdoors
- Gyms, leisure centres, betting shops and casinos will also close
- Shops, schools and universities will remain open

Re: Coronavirus: Restrictions for England to be standardised into three tiers
It's about as clear as mud!On the map our area is orange, we have few cases but bigger towns around us are higher.
When Boris was waffling I thought he said that high areas cannot meet indoors even if in a bubble.
That's ridiculous! I can't have my daughter who helps me in my house. The landlord is doing an eletrical test soon, I bet I'll have to let the electician in!
Please look at the map and see if Sedgemoor is "high". Our council has it on it's list. It just makes no sense!
The list above has the South West with least number of cases!
Just seen now you can mix with those in your support bubble, they've clarified!
Numpties!
