Boris Johnson today announced he is making the Army available to help the police enforce stringent new coronavirus rules - backed up by swingeing fines - as he unveiled a wave of new measures designed to stop the spread of the disease. The Prime Minister said the police will now have the 'option to draw on military support where required' to free up officers so more can go out and crackdown on rule-breakers as he revealed fines are being doubled to £200. Mr Johnson said the UK is at a 'perilous turning point' in the fight against the virus and that his new measures could be in place for six months, setting up the prospect of an austere Christmas and New Year for many families. He imposed a 10pm curfew on all restaurants, bars and pubs across England from Thursday with the hospitality sector also being restricted to table service only, despite figures suggesting only five per cent of infections have originated in pubs. A requirement to wear face coverings will be extended to include retail workers and customers in indoor hospitality settings, except for when they are seated at a table to eat or drink. He also announced the end of the Government's back to work drive as he said he is now 'asking office workers who can work from home to do so'.
