No further Covid restrictions will be enforced in England before the new year, Sajid Javid has said
However, Mr Javid refused to rule out the possibility of measures being introduced at the start of January.
"We won't be taking any further measures [but] of course people should remain cautious as we approach new year celebrations." But he added: "When we get into the new year, of course we will see then whether we do need to take any further measures – but nothing more until then at least."
