Professor Kevin Fenton, London director of Public Health England, has warned more restrictions may be brought in in a bid to avoid a stricter nationwide lockdown.
He told the Standard: “Before we get to that stage there are many other things that you can do in order to help to reduce the risk of transmission and contain your outbreak.
“In some areas which have seen resurgence there have been limits placed on the amount of time you can spend socialising. In some it might be local curfews so you’re not out drinking until the wee hours of the morning.
“By limiting that you also limit the amount of time people are spending in close contact with others.”
