British PM Boris Johnson orders new COVID-19 rules at 'perilous turning point' - UPI.com

British Prime Minister Boris announced a series of new measures on Tuesday that aim to control a surge in COVID-19 cases, including mandatory face mask use.

Speaking to Parliament in London, Johnson said Britain is at a "perilous turning point" in the pandemic as new cases have been doubling about once a week.
The measures include a no-standing requirement that all patrons sit at restaurant tables or bars, which must now close by 10 p.m., and mandatory face masks for retail staffers, taxis and private hire vehicles.
Other provisions include urging British employees to work from home, a maximum of 15 people at weddings and cancelling plans for a phased reopening at sports stadiums.
