The UK says three households can get together for festivities. Four Britons react – with relief, caution and despair
The UK government’s announcement to allow three households to meet together over five days at Christmas has attracted differing opinions. Many people fear that relaxing lockdown poses too great a risk to life, others are pleased they can see their family after being apart so long. One in four, according to a poll last weekend, would probably treat Christmas as they do normally, despite any restrictions.
The Guardian spoke to four people about their response to the news.
