At what level is London currently?
London is currently under Level One restrictions, which means it has “medium” risk.
It means the region is listed as one of the lowest risk areas in the country, but speaking to LBC, London Mayor Sadiq Khan warned that restrictions could change at any time, even in a matter of days.
The restrictions that apply to the capital will remain the same.
People may not meet in groups of more than six and pubs, bars and restaurants are subject to a 10pm curfew.
The mayor warned that London could move to Level Two if coronavirus cases rise further, which could result in people in the capital being prohibited from mixing with other households.
Khan said: “It is very likely that Londoners will also face more restrictions very soon.
“The fundamental problem, facing both Londoners and people in other parts of the UK, is the inability of the Government to provide the necessary resources when new restrictions come into effect.
“As a country, it is vital that we adequately support businesses, workers and local authorities to ensure that the rules are followed and enforced, but also to avoid widespread difficulties.
“I fully support the calls by northern leaders for a more comprehensive process of consultation and engagement between central and local government on decision-making related to the virus.
“Our national response would be much stronger if the government did not treat local leaders as adversaries or with suspicion, but as essential partners in addressing this pandemic.”
What restrictions currently exist in London?
For now, the restrictions will remain the same.
It means that people will not be able to gather in groups of more than six and pubs, bars and restaurants are subject to a curfew at 10pm.
If the capital moves to Level Two, lockdown measures would include a ban on home visits and indoor socializing with other households.

Could London go into lockdown?
London could move to Level Three if it had significantly higher transmission rates than the rest of the country.
Level three, the highest risk level, will only be implemented in cases where transmission is dangerously high and immediate action is required.
Liverpool has been placed in this category in an attempt to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
