Boris Johnson will hold a coronavirus news briefing at Downing Street at 6pm, No 10 has said.
Boris Johnson will lead a COVID-19 news briefing alongside Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty and Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.
It comes after two senior government sources told Sky News earlier today that the PM is ready to move to Plan B.
Plan B involves working from home where possible, the use of vaccine passports for some settings and the wearing of mandatory face masks.
