One month of Lockdown 3 – Mail readers have their say on Covid rules

Lockdown 3, set out by Mr Johnson on Monday, January 4, once again called on the nation to stay at home as much as possible to protect the NHS and save lives, going out only for a number of limited reasons.

These include essential shopping, for daily exercise and to attend medical appointments.

The rules were voted on in the House of Commons on Wednesday, January 6 before passing into legislation.

The Prime Minister is expected to set out a “route map” out of lockdown on Monday, February 22.

We asked Mail readers to share their views on the latest national restrictions, one month on.

This is what you had to say on the Hartlepool Mail Facebook page:

Katie Talula Fletcher: “Tougher lockdown needs to be done and a curfew is needed.”

Deborah Isgate: “Tougher rules ... definitely no easing of any rules at this current moment as the cases keep going up and down.”

Linda Coates: “Doesn't matter what rules, there are alway some that will ignore them.”

Craig Hamilton: “No tougher rules are needed at all, the figures are dropping.”

Lee Johnson: “Definitely keep the restrictions and give the country chance to recover.”

Ian Millward: “First lockdown had tougher rules, it’s an absolute joke. We all want normality but at this rate it will be a while away.”

Suzanne Blackett: “Tougher rules are needed.”
