The UK's chief medical officers have recommended the #COVID19 alert level should move from Level 4 to Level 5, adding that without further action there is 'material risk of the NHS in several areas being overwhelmed'.
Government sources also told Sky News the alert level will change to the highest setting.
It comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce tougher coronavirus restrictions during a news conference at 8pm.
