Scotland has toughened its restrictions to include reducing click and collect services to only those deemed essential from Saturday, January 16.
The Prime Minister said he would not rule out imposing stricter rules in England, if required.
This is what you said on the Hartlepool Mail Facebook page about whether or not the rules should be made tougher:
John Daly: “No. Just follow the rules that are in place. There may be a lot of confusion over clarity, but we can all use common sense on this. The very basics too, of wearing a face covering where required and giving people space, will be a huge help.”

Christine Jackson: “Yes so we can get rid of it, sick of it now. Been in for so long now, can’t stand it. I go out once a month for shopping that's it.”
Andrew Parkin: “No open back up before there's nothing to open.”
Eileen Brooks: “Yes. But you will still get all the stupid people that think the rules don’t apply to them or they just don’t understand the rules no matter what they are! Quite simply stay home, wear a mask, social distance when you have to go out for essential reasons.”
