Boris Johnson apologises for repeated confusion over coronavirus restrictions – BBC News

BBC News published this video item, entitled “Boris Johnson apologises for repeated confusion over coronavirus restrictions – BBC News” – below is their description.

There’s evidence of growing confusion among the public about the new Covid restrictions being put in place in the north-east of England. The confusion was added to by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and a government minister, who failed to give accurate answers about the detail of the new restrictions. Boris Johnson issued an apology for giving a misleading answer about the restrictions, after another Minister, Gillian Keegan, had said she could not provide an answer. The new rules cover areas of north-east England and ban households from mixing indoors including in pubs and restaurants. It’s also been announced that in parts of Wales another half a million people will be subject to tighter restrictions from Thursday. Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Fiona Trott, Hywel Griffith and health editor Hugh Pym.
