LONDON, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 12: Prime Minister Boris Johnson speaks at the vote declaration for his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency on December 12, 2019 in Uxbridge, England. Exit polls predicted the Prime Minister, who has held the Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat since 2015, will emerge from this general election with a governing majority, his aim when he called the first UK winter election for nearly a century. Election results from across the country are being counted overnight and an overall result is expected in the early hours of Friday morning. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

Boris Johnson has ordered a lockdown of the UK for three weeks, telling people they must ‘stay at home’ or face a fine.

People will only be able to leave their home for shopping, one form of exercise a day for example a run, walk or cycle, any medical need, to provide care or help a vulnerable person, or to go to work.

Updating the nation following a Cobra meeting with cabinet ministers, he said: ‘You should not be meeting friends. If your friends ask you to meet, you should say No.

‘You should not be meeting family members who do not live in your home. You should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine – and you should do this as little as you can. And use food delivery services where you can.

‘If you don’t follow the rules the police will have the powers to enforce them, including through fines and dispersing gatherings.’

To enforce the new measures, he said shops selling non-essential goods would be closed, as well as libraries, playgrounds and places of worship.

Gatherings of more than two people in public would be banned, excluding people that are in the same household.

Weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies would be stopped, but excluding funerals.

Parks will remain open for exercise but gatherings will be dispersed.

Mr Johnson said: ‘To put it simply, if too many people become unwell at one time, the NHS will be unable to handle it. It’s vital to slow the spread of the disease because that is the way we reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment at any one time.’
