How are the rules changing?

Brits will be banned from meeting in groups of more than six indoors from Monday, September 14 - and it applies to gatherings in homes and restaurants in England.

Currently, people aren't allowed to gather in groups of more than 30, and they can only meet inside with one other household.

But that will be changed so any of the six can be from different households, in an attempt to bring rules in line with outdoor gatherings.

Those who break the rule of six — inside or outside — can be fined £100, doubling for each repeat offence up to £3,200.

In a press conference today, Prime Minister Boris Johnson apologized about the change but said it's "necessary to stop the spread of the virus and save lives".

The measures will be kept under constant review, but will remain in place as long as necessary in order to prevent a second lockdown, he added.

Gyms, hospitality venues and places of worship can still have more than six people in at any one time, but groups of more than six won't be allowed.

Can weddings still go ahead?

Yes, weddings, funerals and organised team sports in England that are set-up in a Covid-secure way will be exempt from the new rules.

But they must still remain limited to 30 attendees.

For wedding ceremonies, this includes officials and staff, while small receptions of the same size can be held at a Covid-secure venue.
