Read full article: UK braces for holiday COVID-19 surge, tighter restrictionsThe government plans to relax restrictions on socializing and travel for five days before and after Christmas. With infections rising in the U.K., which has Europe's second-highest coronavirus death toll, there are concerns about a possible fresh surge of cases and deaths after the holidays. In Scotland, Health Secretary Jeane Freeman said the option for a post-Christmas lockdown “remains on the table." One expert was skeptical about the effectiveness of the U.K. government's three-tiered system of restrictions. The testing plans “are undeliverable in that timescale," said Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders.

The confusion surrounding the scheduled easing has been exacerbated by the fact that many parts of the country have seen restrictions tightened this week.
