The current national lockdown restrictions could be too lax to curb rocketing infections, say experts, and police will focus on enforcing the rules rather than on explaining them, government sources said. New infections and deaths in the UK reached record highs on Friday. New data is suggesting that the risk from every contact is probably 40-50% higher than it was. Police forces across the country have said they will enforce the nationwide restrictions more strictly. The force has since said all fixed penalty notices issued during the latest national lockdown will be reviewed after it received clarification about coronavirus regulations.
