An official spokesman for the Prime Minister has since confirmed this is not the case but the Government has not entirely ruled out a firebreak lockdown either.
He said: “We have retained contingency plans as part of responsible planning for a range of scenarios, but these kind of measures would only be reintroduced as a last resort to prevent unsustainable pressure on our NHS.
“I think we’ve been clear throughout that we will take action, and indeed we have done when necessary to protect our NHS.”
