Welcome to England under Lockdown 3: Masked key workers on Underground provide only hustle-and-bustle... while above ground streets are SILENT on day shutdown officially comes into force

Commuters continued to head into work today after regulations enforcing England's third national lockdown came into force overnight amid spiralling coronavirus cases.

Transport for London and Network Rail are now urging people to only travel by train for 'legally permitted reasons' such as work or education, in a toughening of language that previously called for 'essential travel'.

Traffic congestion levels in London were just over 20 per cent during rush hour this morning, roughly in line with the first two days of the week, although still well down on the average 2019 levels of up to 67 per cent.

Yesterday, on the first day of the third national lockdown for England, TfL revealed London Underground journeys were at just 18 per cent of normal levels and bus journeys were at 30 per cent of usual. 

This was compared to the start of the second lockdown last November which saw the Tube fall to 31 per cent and the bus drop to 50 per cent. The first lockdown last March saw usage drop below 10 per cent on Tubes and buses.

The data compiled by BBC News therefore shows that the third lockdown has had a much bigger impact on travel in London than the second lockdown, but nowhere near the plunge caused by the first lockdown.

Data from TomTom for traffic congestion in London showed levels at 7am today were at 22 per cent today, which was the same as yesterday and up from 18 per cent on Monday, but down from the 53 per cent average in 2019.

Public face police checks if spotted away from home during lockdown, Scotland Yard warns

People could be stopped by police to explain why they are away from home during the latest coronavirus lockdown, senior officers have warned.

The Metropolitan Police said the public should expect officers to be more 'inquisitive' about why they are 'out and about' during England's third national lockdown.

Londoners breaching Covid legislation 'are increasingly likely to face fines', the force said in a statement, adding: 'Londoners can expect officers to be more inquisitive as to why they see them out and about.

'Where officers identify people without a lawful reason to be away from home they can expect officers to move more quickly to enforcement.'

The news comes after the force's police federation chairman Ken Marsh said the latest lockdown would put 'a lot of pressure' on officers in the capital as their numbers were already reduced while 1,300 were off sick or self-isolating.

Although officers will still apply the '4 Es' approach - engaging, explaining, encouraging and then enforcing - Scotland Yard said it had issued 'refreshed instructions' to hand out fines 'more quickly to anyone committing obvious, wilful and serious breaches' like those attending or organising parties or other large illegal gatherings.

People not wearing masks when they should be 'and without good reason' can also expected to be 'fined - not reasoned with', the force warned.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist, who leads the Met's response to the Covid pandemic, said: 'After 10 months of this pandemic the number of people who are genuinely not aware of the restrictions and the reasons they are in place is vanishingly small.

'We know the overwhelming majority of Londoners will do the right thing by staying at home, wearing masks and not gathering, but a small minority continue to ignore rules put in place to protect the NHS and save lives.'

He warned that officers were 'ready to act robustly' if people 'continue to break the rules, putting themselves, their families and their communities at greater risk', adding: 'Action now by everyone will help reduce the time our capital must live with these restrictions and, crucially, will prevent more people from dying needlessly because of this virus. It's up to us all to do the right thing.'

At 8am today the figure was 23 per cent, which was again the same as yesterday and up from 19 per cent on Monday, but down from a 67 per cent average in 2019. The 9am figure was 21 per cent today. 

Today, MPs will return to Westminster to vote on regulations enforcing England's third lockdown as the Commons was recalled from its Christmas recess for the second time to debate and retrospectively vote on the measures.

After announcing the measures on Monday night, Boris Johnson will update MPs on the new controls - which include the closure of schools to most pupils and a return to the stay at home order - before a vote due in the evening. The measures are expected to pass with ease, with Labour set to support the motion. 

It comes as the World Health Organisation said it would not recommend witholding the second vaccine dose for up to 12 weeks as the UK is. It is instead suggesting the interval should be between three and four weeks. 

Meanwhile, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson will outline a package of support for young people after GCSE and A-level exams were scrapped.

The regulations enforcing a lockdown in England came into effect at 00.01 on Wednesday, as new figures suggested one in 50 people had coronavirus last week.

Data from the Office for National Statistics suggested 1.1 million people in private households in England had Covid-19 between December 27 and January 2.

England's chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty said people must take the 'stay at home' rules seriously as he warned that the country faced a 'really serious emergency'.

His comments came as the number of daily confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK topped 60,000 for the first time, while a further 830 people died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of Tuesday.

But in a sign of progress, the Prime Minister said that more than 1.3 million people have been vaccinated against the virus across the UK so far, including 23 per cent of all the over-80s in England. 

Prof Whitty, speaking alongside Mr Johnson at a Downing Street press conference yesterday evening, said the vaccine timetable was 'realistic but not easy', and that the NHS would have to use 'multiple channels' to get it out.

But questions have been raised over the roll-out, with a pharmacy chief questioning why the NHS is 'scrabbling around' for vaccinators when his industry was offering to help.

Simon Dukes, chief executive of the Pharmaceutical Negotiating Services Committee, told The Telegraph: 'Rather than scrabbling around trying to find retired GPs and nurses and anyone who has possibly dated skills, you've got an army of thousands of pharmacists up and down the country who administer the flu jab every winter.

'We've been telling the NHS that we're ready, willing and desperate to help. But we've been met by a de facto silence.'

Meanwhile The Times reported that two million doses of the Pfizer vaccines held back for boosters would be distributed in the next fortnight.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer urged the Government to use the lockdown to create a 'round-the-clock' vaccination scheme in order to end 'this nightmare'.

In a televised response to Mr Johnson's statement, Sir Keir also confirmed he would back the new restrictions in the Commons vote today.

In other developments, Mr Johnson announced that the Government would be 'bringing in measures to ensure that we test people coming into this country and prevent the virus from being readmitted'.

And he declined to guarantee that all children would be back in school before the summer holidays but said he is full of 'optimism and fundamental hope' that things will be different in the spring.

He told the briefing that he had 'no choice' but to plunge England into a third national lockdown in light of the figures, with the number of people in hospital with the virus in England higher than ever.

The latest data from NHS England showed there were 26,467 Covid-19 patients in hospital as of 8am yesterday - a week-on-week increase of 21 per cent. In London, the number stood at a record 6,816 patients, up 27 per cent in a week.

Professor Whitty said that because of the spike in people being admitted to hospital there will 'inevitably' be an increase in the number of coronavirus deaths later this month.

And he told the press conference: 'If we did not do all the things all of us must now do, if people don't take the stay at home seriously, the risk at this point in time, in the middle of winter with this new variant, is extraordinarily high.'

He said the risk level will gradually decrease over time with measures being 'lifted by degrees possibly at different rates in different parts of the country, we'll have to see', but said some restrictions may have to be introduced again next winter.

All of the UK is now under stringent coronavirus restrictions. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon imposed a lockdown on Scotland for the rest of January, with a legal requirement to stay at home and schools closed to most pupils until February.

Schools and colleges in Wales will also remain closed until at least January 18 and move to online learning.

And in Northern Ireland - which is already under a six-week lockdown - 'stay at home' restrictions will be brought back into law and a period of remote learning for schoolchildren will be extended.

This is Tuesday's update of the latest Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England. The figures, for the seven days to January 1, are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government's testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two). The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people. Data for the most recent four days (January 2-5) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases. Of the 315 local areas in England, 310 (98%) have seen a rise in case rates and five (2%) have seen a fall. Barking & Dagenham in London continues to have the highest rate in England, with 3,216 new cases recorded in the seven days to January 1 - the equivalent of 1,510.5 cases per 100,000 people. This is up from 976.5 in the seven days to December 25. Thurrock in Essex has the second highest rate, up from 1,217.2 to 1,471.8, with 2,566 new cases. Castle Point, also in Essex, is in third place, where the rate has increased from 1,083.3 to 1,419.6 with 1,283 new cases. The areas recording the biggest week-on-week jumps are Carlisle (up from 349.7 to 932.1 with 1,013 new cases); Rushmoor in Hampshire (up from 657.5 to 1,229.4 with 1,163 new cases); and the Isle of Wight (up from 215.8 to 785.8, with 1,114 new cases).

The figures, for the seven days to January 1, are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government's testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two). The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people. Data for the most recent four days (January 2-5) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases. Of the 315 local areas in England, 310 (98%) have seen a rise in case rates and five (2%) have seen a fall. Barking & Dagenham in London continues to have the highest rate in England, with 3,216 new cases recorded in the seven days to January 1 - the equivalent of 1,510.5 cases per 100,000 people. This is up from 976.5 in the seven days to December 25. Thurrock in Essex has the second highest rate, up from 1,217.2 to 1,471.8, with 2,566 new cases. Castle Point, also in Essex, is in third place, where the rate has increased from 1,083.3 to 1,419.6 with 1,283 new cases. The areas recording the biggest week-on-week jumps are Carlisle (up from 349.7 to 932.1 with 1,013 new cases); Rushmoor in Hampshire (up from 657.5 to 1,229.4 with 1,163 new cases); and the Isle of Wight (up from 215.8 to 785.8, with 1,114 new cases). This is Tuesday's update of the latest Covid-19 case rates for every local authority area in England.
