\"\"International Desk: The new three-tier system of Covid-19 restrictions has begun in England.<\/p>\n

Most of the country is in the lowest tier – medium – but millions of people in the North and the Midlands face extra curbs on households mixing.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool region is the only area to be under the toughest rules, with pubs and bars not serving meals closed.<\/p>\n

The new system sees every area of England classed as being on medium, high or very high alert:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Areas on medium alert<\/strong>\u00a0are subject to the national restrictions currently in force, including the rule of six on indoor and outdoor gatherings and the 22:00 closing time for pubs, bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n

In addition to these restrictions, in\u00a0areas on high alert<\/strong>\u00a0– including north-east England, much of the North West and parts of the Midlands, along with West and South Yorkshire – different households are not allowed to mix indoors.<\/p>\n

Areas on very high alert<\/strong>\u00a0face extra curbs, with different households banned from mixing indoors or outdoors in hospitality venues or private gardens, BBC reported.<\/p>\n

Pubs and bars will be closed unless they are serving substantial meals and there is also guidance against travelling in and out of the area.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the system was a “moderate” and “balanced” approach to saving lives while trying to protect the economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
