Restrictions Increased In The North

Northern Ireland's entering a six-week lockdown from Saint Stephen's Day.

The Stormont Executive has decided to close non-essential shops, and restrict the hospitality sector to takeaway only.
In the first week of the lockdown, households won't be allowed mix and people won't be able to leave their homes after 8pm.

The chair of Northern Ireland’s health service Tom Black says it will take time for the restrictions to have an effect.
