3:51Now PlayingBoris Johnson imposed tighter restrictions on most of England as he warned of “extremely tough” months ahead in the race to roll out vaccines that can bring coronavirus under control.
From Thursday, three-quarters of the population of England -- 44.1 million people -- will be in the top tier of lockdown measures as the new strain of the virus piles pressure on hospitals already stretched to capacity by the pandemic.
The return of students to schools after the holiday is also being delayed. Primary schools will stay closed for most children aged 5-11 across two-thirds of London, and in some areas around the capital. High school pupils across the country will be kept at home for a week longer than planned, the government said.
“The hope of the vaccine and testing alone are not going to be enough for the next few weeks, and possibly longer,” the prime minister said in a TV interview. “It’s now in these very tough winter months that we really must keep focus, keep discipline.”
