Millions of people in England have woken up to harsher Tier 3 restrictions this morning after the first review of the rules took place earlier this week. Swathes of the south of England were plunged into the strictest tier amid rising coronavirus cases - meaning 68 percent of the population are now under the toughest restrictions. The rules change comes after the R-value is estimated to have risen to between 1.1 and 1.2 from 0.9 last week.
Some 30% of the population are now in Tier 2, with just 2% in Tier 1.
More areas have been moved into Tier 3 as the R number in the UK is estimated to have gone up to between
1.1 and 1.2, according to the SAGE group of government advisers.
The growth rate of COVID-19 is therefore estimated to be between 1% and 4%.
