Do you fancy a snowball fight?

These pictures look like they have fallen out of time because they just don't fit the pandemic.

Despite a third nationwide lockdown in the UK this week, many people in wintry Leeds did not let themselves be deterred from enjoying themselves in Hyde Park.

Actually, the new rules say: People should stay at home and only go out when absolutely necessary.

Which a snowball fight is not necessarily part of. 

That, in turn, may apply to most of these people - for example, on the way to work.

But when it comes to train and underground stations like here in London, it is difficult to adhere to distance rules. 

The UK is suffering from the pandemic even more than other countries.

Also because of the new variant of the virus, Prime Minister had announced a complete lockdown.

The situation in many clinics is extremely tense.

In total, almost 90,000 people have died in connection with Covid-19 in the United Kingdom.
