It’s official: in just under a week, Britain is set to return to the Government’s ‘Tier system’ of restrictions.
Almost all of our nation will fall into the two highest tiers. But what exactly do these revised rules mean? How will they affect our families, social lives and plans for the festive season? What economic impact will they have? And how close are we to seeing the back of these dark, locked down days?
Now is the time to turn to The Telegraph. Subscribe today for just 1 a week for your first three months with our Black Friday offer. Turn to our award-winning journalists for unrivalled clarity, uncompromising commentary and the truth behind all the confusion and controversy.
As a Telegraph subscriber, you’ll be able to use our postcode tracker tool to see which tier of restrictions your area will fall into. You’ll also find a comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide to what the different rules mean in Tier 3, Tier 2 and Tier 1, from meeting up with other households to heading to the pub.
We’ll keep you up-to-date with all the latest lockdown news.

We’ll also give you all the advice you need to travel safely, plus up-to-the-minute guidance on planning a winter staycation.
You’ll gain an unrivalled perspective on the impact of the new restrictions, courtesy of Britain’s best analysis and commentary.
