111 (ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 19 - "With a heavy heart I must announce that we cannot have the Christmas we had planned".

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said this when announcing new restrictions in the United Kingdom following information on a new variant of the coronavirus: it is confirmed that London and the south-east of England will go into lockdown from tomorrow.

BorisJohnson has announced that starting from London tomorrow, the South East and East of England will enter the so-called 'tier4', the highest level of alert that provides the toughest restrictions to counter the circulation of the coronavirus.

Measures equivalent to those introduced in England in November and which will remain in effect for two weeks, with a review expected by 30 December.

You will have to stay indoors and non-essential commercial activities will remain closed.

Everyone is welcome to work from home wherever possible.
