This is strange - no change the law but ‘stealth guidance’ instead bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… 
This is the guidance gov.uk/guidance/covid…
This is the first time, I think, that local guidance has significantly changed without any change to the law. The Steps regulations allow for local areas to be placed into different steps but to date this hasn’t happened.
When things like this happen it tends to be because the people making the policy can’t agree on the right approach, sounds like there is an argument for local lockdowns but others do not want them so they have compromised on guidance which isn’t publicised!
