Health officials have drawn up three potential options for ministers to consider to slow the spread of Omicron:

Urging the public to limit social mixing, without legal enforcement

Mandating curbs on household mixing, the return of social distancing and forcing pubs and restaurants to close at 20:00 GMT

A return to full lockdown

It has been reported that one cabinet minister would resign if that happened.

There is strong cabinet opposition to bring in tougher measures, but Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab told the BBC he could not make "hard, fast guarantees" that there would not be a Christmas lockdown.
