BREAKING: Boris Johnson has ordered a full UK-wide lockdown

“From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction — you must stay at home.”
Britons will only be allowed to leave their homes for one of four reasons

— shopping for basic necessities
— to take one form of exercise a day
— for any medical need such as providing care for a vulnerable person
— or to travel to and from work if they have an essential job
The prime minister has authorised the police to fine Britons who leave their homes for non-essential reasons
All shops selling non-essential goods closed,​ including clothing and electronic stores

Gatherings of more than two people in public — excluding people you live with — banned, as are all social events​, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies, but excluding funerals
Parks will remain open for exercise but gatherings will be dispersed. People will be allowed to run, walk, or cycle — alone or with members of your household — but only once a day.

The measures will be reviewed in three weeks, and relaxed if they can
Boris Johnson:

“To put it simply, if too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the NHS will be unable to handle it - meaning more people are likely to die, not just from Coronavirus but from other illnesses as well. So it’s vital to slow the spread of the disease.”
