Boris Johnson threatens to impose highest level Covid restrictions on Manchester – BBC News
The Prime Minister has told the Mayor of Greater Manchester that he is prepared to intervene and impose the highest level of coronavirus restrictions on the region if they can’t reach an agreement.
The Mayor, Andy Burnham, is seeking a bigger package of financial support for businesses that would be forced to close as a result of the Tier 3 restrictions.
He has told Boris Johnson that local leaders are ready to meet the government at any time to seek agreement. Manchester has some of the highest levels of coronavirus transmission in the UK.
Meanwhile Lancashire has agreed to impose the highest restrictions, joining the Liverpool city region on Tier 3 — or Very High Alert.
It means no mixing between households indoors — or outdoors in certain settings including private gardens. Pubs and bars will close unless they serve a substantial meal. And people must avoid non-essential travel into or out of the area.
However there are some difference between Manchester and Liverpool, despite them both being placed at Tier 3. In Lancashire, unlike Liverpool, gyms and leisure centres won’t have to close but soft play centres and car boot sales will.
The Mayor of Liverpool says it’s “madness” to have different rules for Lancashire and he’s warned that it is “sowing confusion”.
Meanwhile people from areas of the UK with high levels of coronavirus – including Tier 2 in England – are now banned from entering Wales.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he expects the war with Russia to continue into the winter, following talks with Donald Trump’s top envoys in Kyiv.
The discussions finished without an announcement of a major breakthrough, after Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner travelled to Ukraine for the first time since Russia’s full-scale invasion. The previous day, the pair had held talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Witkoff said he was “encouraged” by what he called “substantive” and important talks in Kyiv. Zelensky stressed that he wanted a just peace with no opportunity for renewed aggression by Russia.

Two US envoys are hoping for “equally productive meetings” in Ukraine after holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on ending the war, US officials say.
Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to land in Kyiv on Sunday, the first trip by US President Donald Trump’s top negotiators to Ukraine’s capital.
They discussed “substantive plans for next steps” with Putin on Saturday according to the White House, and an announcement is expected in the coming weeks, as efforts to end the war in Ukraine gather pace.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was ready for “a substantive conversation” as Witkoff and Kushner were negotiating at the Kremlin, with talks lasting three hours in Putin’s official residence on Saturday.
