As you know, the United Kingdom was put into a third lockdown by the PM on  the 4th January 21. This includes some measures put into place that you would be used to, such as; Work from home if possible, do not meet people outside outside of your work bubble etc. But due to cases not looking like they are decreasing - even after entering lockdown - there are talks of a potential tightening of the rules in hopes that it will help us beat Covid and keep us safe until everyone is vaccinated.

The PM is facing more pressure from others to go ahead and tighten the rules. Though as of 11/01/21 there has been nothing announced. Speculating we could see something in place to restrict exercise rules, at the moment people are meeting friends under the guise that they are just "exercising". In turn, it completely negates the lockdowns message of staying home.

To further speculate, we could see a tougher rule on support bubbles as that also lets people circumvent the rules; especially as a true lockdown would mean staying in apart from going out to get basic supplies. There could allegedly be tougher rules on wearing a mask, i.e. if you are outside travelling or indoors working/shopping you have to wear a mask no matter what.

Overall, it is interesting to see where we will go from here, whether the lockdown will get tighter restrictions or will we carry on as we are now. Either way the end goal remains the same, get everyone vaccinated and overcome this pandemic.
