Weddings And Funerals Will Not Be Subject To Any New Coronavirus Restrictions
Even if further measures are implemented, the government is likely to exempt weddings and funerals from any new Covid limitations.
Ministers feel that "important life events" should not be disrupted.
This exception will hold even if Boris Johnson decides to limit the number of individuals who can meet indoors for socializing as a result of the latest Omicron numbers, according to The Times.
The Prime Minister will receive his first data briefing on the coronavirus figures since before Christmas on Monday, as he considers whether to impose New Year's Eve restrictions to help limit the spread of the new Omicron variety.
On the 26th and 27th of December, additional measures came into effect in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, although governments have so far refrained from enforcing new laws.
Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer for England, and Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance will brief Boris Johnson. If the numbers aren't as bad as expected, Johnson might be convinced to ease up on the limitations, perhaps with a few extra words of advice.
