Coronavirus: This is how many cases have been reported in West Sussex
Speaking in the House of Commons today (Tuesday, September 22), the Prime Minister said the country has 'reached a perilous turning point', before laying out 'carefully judged' new restrictions, including a mandatory 10pm closing time for pubs, restaurants and cafes, and increased fines for breaking the rules.
Mr Johnson said that the number of people testing positive for coronavirus per day has 'almost quadrupled' in the last month, to 3,929 people per day. He said this is not 'merely a function of more testing' because a rising proportion of tests are yielding positive results.
