LONDON, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Christmas parties are allowed
under new COVID-19 measures in England, Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said on Wednesday, and seasonal children's nativity
plays should not be cancelled.
"We don't want nativity plays to be cancelled," Johnson said
as he announced so-called "Plan B" measures including a work
from home order and a COVID pass scheme.
"We think that it's okay, currently on what we can see, to
keep going with Christmas parties, but obviously everybody
should exercise due caution," he said, adding that ventilation,
hand-washing and getting tested were sensible things to do.
