As coronavirus cases continue to rise, new restrictions are set to come into force after Prime Minister, Boris Johnson warned the country is facing a "perilous turning point" in our battle with the virus.

Rules including new 10pm curfews for pubs and bars, mandatory face coverings and limits on group sizes for socialising have already come into effect.

With infection rates spiralling the Prime Minister has moved to clamp down once again after the country's alert level was escalated from three to four, meaning the virus was spreading rapidly again.

Data from September 26 from the government showed there had been 6,042 new coronavirus infections in the UK in the previous 24 hour period, and 34 deaths among those who tested positive for Covid-19 in the past 28 days.

Even further limits on wedding guests

Restrictions limiting the number of guests allowed at weddings have been tightened in England

After countless couples were forced to postpone their nuptials, weddings were allowed to have 30 guests attend from July.

However, from Monday anyone getting married or having a civil partnership ceremony will have their guest list limited to 15 people.

Venues must also take place in COVID-secure venues, and so people are banned from holding their ceremony in a private house or garden - where only up to six permitted to gather under the 'rule of six' law was introduced.

The limit of 15 people includes the couple, witnesses and guests, but people working such as a priest or celebrant are not including.

Singing, chanting and playing of instruments can be done by performers, but the congregation and guests cannot take part. Dancing is also not allowed, so many people who wish to go ahead with their vows will have a drastically different looking day.

Funerals can go ahead with 30 mourners

While weddings have been restricted to just 15 people, funerals are exempt from the latest guidance meaning there can still be 30 guests in attendance.

The same rules around singing, chanting and playing of instruments still apply and mourners in attendance must still follow social distancing guidelines.

Christenings must be reduced to just six people

Similarly to weddings, the number of guests allowed to attend christenings has also been restricted.

According to the government "other significant standalone life events will be subject to the 'rule of six' limits".

This means that christenings can only have 6 people in attendance, which includes the baby as infants are considered part of the rule of six groupings.

The difference between this figure and the larger limit on funerals is understood to have been put in place to accommodate certain religious concerns.

Volunteers are needed to help those self-isolating at home
If you fail to self-isolate you're set to face tougher fines

Massive fines for those who fail to self isolate

In one of the toughest new measures introduced, those who disobey orders to self-isolate will pace financial penalties of up to £10,000.

The fines come as it becomes a requirement by law to self-isolate from Monday, the new fines for those breaching the rules will start at £1,000, bringing it in line with the penalty for breaking quarantine after returning from abroad.

However, the new fines could increase to up to £10,000 for repeat offences and what the government call "the most egregious breaches, including for those preventing others from self-isolating."

Giving an example, the government have said this could include businesses who threaten self-isolating staff with redundancy if they are self-isolating and not coming back to work, with the government using this as a clear message that this "will not be tolerated".

Businesses will also face stricter rules to make their premises COVID secure from Monday, which includes the fact they must remind people to wear face coverings where they are mandated.

Hospitality venues are also legally required to collect track and trace information from customers.

Staff who do not enforce social distancing or allow groups larger than six can also be subject to fines.

Local councils have been handed powers which allow them to close venues which are blatantly breaching the rules.

Cinemas and tourism also face curfews

The new 10pm curfew will also apply to leisure, entertainment and tourism businesses such as cinemas, casinos and bingo halls from Monday.

This includes services provided in community centres, such as youth groups.

However, if a performance at a theatre or cinema runs past 10pm then they are exempt from the curfew.
