What time tier announcement will be made and what families can expect to hear

mirror.co.uk:

Millions of Brits will today find out which tier they will be in when England's national lockdown ends next week. From 12.01am next Wednesday (December 2), every village, town and city will be placed in one of three tiers once again.

Like before there will be three tiers; Tier 1 - medium risk - is the lowest level with the least severe restrictions, with rules becoming more strict in the high risk Tier 2, while the most severe Tier 3 has the most severe restrictions for very high risk areas.

The new tier rules were announced on Monday, with UK-wide Christmas plans confirmed on Tuesday. Now, families will know what their rules will be in the weeks leading up to the five-day Christmas bubble period.
