According to experts, the rate of spread of the virus is faster than forecast, while at the same time the number of victims in the country is the highest in Europe and stands at 46,299 people.
Johnson is expected to hold a press conference this coming Monday where he will announce the new restrictions.
According to reports, it will be possible to open vital businesses and schools.
According to the Times, the new measures have not yet been finally approved and discussions on their case continue.
One of the advisers to the British government warned this morning that "the corona is erupting in all age groups. Unlike the first wave, in which the entire population was shut down and protected the majority of the population, the current eruption does not miss any strata."
At the same time, economic experts are pressuring the government not to impose a general closure, claiming that it will increase the market contraction that occurred in the last quarter in the country, following restrictions on business.
According to the Reuters news agency, the cost of imposing the staff will be over 100 billion pounds, equivalent to about 1.3 billion dollars.
