The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “In full: ‘Have yourself a merry little Christmas…this year I do mean little’ – PM clarifies rules” – below is their description.
Boris Johnson has urged families to scale down their festive celebrations, saying “Have yourself a merry little Christmas, I am afraid this year I do mean little”.
At a No 10 press conference, the Prime Minister said that England was “winning in its fight against the virus” but added that people must exercise “extreme caution” as Covid spreads invisibly between asymptomatic victims.
He added: “We are keeping the laws the same, a smaller Christmas is a safer Christmas and a shorter Christmas is safer.”
Mr Johnson urged the public in the five days before Christmas to reduce the number of people they are in contact with and suggested they should avoid crowds during Boxing Day shopping sales.
