All pubs and restaurants in Bolton were ordered to close to anyone eating and drinking at the venue in a major crackdown on the coronavirus.

Hospitality venues, which also include bars and cafes, will only be able to remain open as takeaways in the city, effective immediately.

And they will also have to shut down completely between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., after cases among young people spiked.

The restrictions were tightened today in the city of Greater Manchester after it became the worst access point in England for Covid-19, with 120 new cases per 100,000 people.

It is the first city in England since Leicester where they have been told to close all pubs and restaurants.

Matt Hancock announced the measure in the House of Commons after the “very significant increase” in local cases, warning that it could also “reach” a national peak.

“This virus feeds on complacency,” warned the Secretary of Health. “The threat posed by the virus has not disappeared. Now, with winter on the horizon, we must all redouble our efforts to reverse this virus.”

It comes amid a nationwide surge in coronavirus cases, prompting speculation that England will see a separate national crackdown to combat the virus.

Reports suggest that the legal limit of 30 or more people gathered could be cut across England.

The guide already says that no more than two households should meet indoors, but the legal limits are currently more relaxed than the guide.

Downing Street refused to deny the reports. A spokesman said the prime minister took the increase in cases “extremely seriously” and “will not hesitate to act if further action is needed to protect the NHS and save lives.”

Matt Hancock said, “Just because we’ve passed one peak doesn’t mean we can’t see another one approaching our shores.”

Matt Hancock said the overall increase in cases should be a “moment of clarity” for the country as a whole.

The Conservative Health Secretary told the House of Commons: “This is not over.

“The fact that we have crossed a peak does not mean that we cannot see another one approaching our shores.”

Bolton had already been out of a few reopens in other parts of Greater Manchester as of today.

The people of the city have already been prohibited from meeting with people from any other household in the interior.

Casinos, skating rinks, bowling alleys, exhibition halls, conference centers and indoor gaming areas also remained closed in the city.

Matt Hancock said Bolton’s crackdown came after contact trackers identified “a series of pubs where the virus has spread significantly.”

He added that the increase in cases, both nationally and in Bolton, was especially high among young people.

He warned young people that “the long-term effects can be dire” if they contract Covid-19.

Mr. Hancock told the Commons: “It is critical that we maintain our collective commitment to control this disease, and social distancing is the first line of defense.

“While young people are less likely to die from this disease, have no doubt that they are still at risk.

“The long-term effects can be dire and can of course infect others. Six months later, many people continue to suffer from chronic fatigue, muscle aches and breathing difficulties, previously fit and healthy people who could barely function.

“A King’s College survey released today shows 300,000 people in the UK have reported symptoms lasting more than a month and 60,000 people have been ill for more than three months.”

Some 2,948 tests in the UK came back positive in the 24 hours to 9 a.m. Monday, adding to the 2,988 reported on Sunday.

Those are the biggest numbers since May and a big jump.

Hancock warned young people: “Don’t kill your grandmother by spreading the coronavirus and then passing it on.

“And you can pass it on before you’ve had any symptoms.”

In recent weeks, Conservative ministers have told the public to go back to the office and eat in restaurants and pubs.

But England’s deputy chief medical officer, Jonathan Van-Tam, said the British public had “relaxed too much” over the summer.

He said, “If we don’t take this incredibly seriously from now on, we’re going to have a bumpy ride in the months to come.”

Boris Johnson had previously suggested that life would return to significant normalcy in the UK by Christmas.

But SAGE member Professor John Edmunds suggested that family Christmases were at risk as cases are “increasing exponentially.”

He told ITV News that the UK has entered “a risky period” with the R number, the number of people infected by each Covid carrier, above one.

He said, “He didn’t want us to relax the measures so much that we couldn’t safely open schools without the reproduction number dropping significantly above one.

“And we are already above one and we have opened schools.

“The epidemic keeps increasing and then we have Christmas. And that is very difficult. What is Christmas? Well, it is a very close encounter with your family. Restaurants and pubs and things like that. And everything is high risk. And everything is inside. The interior makes the difference. “
