There's evidence of growing confusion among the public about the new Covid restrictions being put in place in the north-east of England.

The confusion was added to by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and a government minister, who failed to give accurate answers about the detail of the new restrictions.

Boris Johnson issued an apology for giving a misleading answer about the restrictions, after another Minister, Gillian Keegan, had said she could not provide an answer.

The new rules cover areas of north-east England and ban households from mixing indoors including in pubs and restaurants.

It’s also been announced that in parts of Wales another half a million people will be subject to tighter restrictions from Thursday.
