He will set those out this evening."Coronavirus restrictions already apply in differing degrees in English regions. But Johnson had previously resisted imposing another full national lockdown.Speaking on Monday morning as the latest figures show exponential growth in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations, the prime minister said "tougher measures" were needed to control the virus.He told reporters during a visit to a hospital in London that "if you look at the numbers there's no question we will have to take tougher measures and we will be announcing those in due course."Opposition Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer <a href="https://twitter.com/ShehabKhan/status/1345754232302030855">on Sunday</a> called for an immediate national lockdown because of the explosion in case numbers and hospitalizations over the Christmas holidays, saying the situation in England was now "clearly out of control."Parents across many parts of England where primaries schools were set to open on Monday received messages from their children's schools over the weekend informing them that they would also not be reopening because of a shortage of teaching staff.Teachers have been advised by the National Education Union not to attend schools because of the "serious and imminent danger" to their health caused by the virus.
