Foster: Northern Ireland is known for its hospitality but it is no kindness to be holding large gatherings
He repeated a phrase used in his first address to the nation to really shock people into paying attention: That"many more families" would be"losing loved ones before their time" unless action is takenThe idea of only locking down vulnerable people was rejected as the virus would"inevitably find its way through to the elderly"
The requirement to wear a face covering has been extended to staff in retail, people in taxis and everyone using hospitality services, except when sitting down to eat or drinkCOVID-secure guidelines will become a legal obligation for retail, leisure and tourism firms, with those who do not comply running the risk of fines of £10,000 or closure
Critical of the behaviour of lockdown busters, he said there had been “too many breaches” and “too many opportunities for our invisible enemy to slip through undetected”. His warning of tougher measures was stark and blunt. A new national lockdown would threaten not just jobs and livelihoods but “loving human contact”, he said.
But at the same time, in typically optimistic tone, he said: “I know that we can succeed because we have succeeded before.” Scotland has gone a step further than England, banning people from meeting other households indoors - apart from a small number of exemptions. "But now is the time for us all to summon the discipline, and the resolve, and the spirit of togetherness that will carry us through."Follow new rules to avoid full lockdown, PM warnsHe says:"If we let this virus get out of control now, it would mean that our NHS had no space – once again – to deal with cancer patients and millions of other non-COVID medical needs.
"I know that this approach – robust but proportionate – already carries the support of all the main parties in parliament," he adds, in a nod to Labour backing the measures.
RachelReevesMP How ironic is it that we had over 20,000 police cut from London just before a crisis where we needed them more than ever. I think next time, the government should cut their own salaries and sack the London Mayor instead, we survived perfectly well without for some 50 years.
