Boris Johnson makes it plain: two households can't meet if they exceed the 6 person limit.
So that means Christmas is cancelled if the restrictions are still in place by then.
Johnson says Govt will need to "review" the intention to return audiences to stadiums by October.
He says it's not necessarily being scrapped, but will have to be looked at.
Boris Johnson just said the new plan for rapid mass testing could be widespread by the Spring.
Vaccines will also most likely not be ready until 2021.
So essentially, it will be next year some time before we can go back to anything like normal.
Labour's Shadow Health Secretary points out...
How long will these new restrictions last?
Prof Chris Whitty: "The period over Autumn and Winter is going to be difficult. In terms of the existing restrictions... that many not last for many months, but its unlikely to be over in two or three weeks."
