Boris Johnson was set to push fresh coronavirus lockdown rules through the UK Parliament on Wednesday, facing down rebels in his own Conservative Party who reject the erosion of civil liberties they entail.
The regulations were due to take effect from Wednesday, enforcing the closing of gyms and non-essential shops in England, and restricting social contact between households. The prime minister announced the month-long lockdown after data showed the pandemic exceeding even the worst-case projections of his scientific advisers, threatening to overwhelm hospitals.
