There have been suggestions of a few days away from restrictions over the Christmas period, in order to allow families to see one another.
With restrictions in place for much of this year, some families have gone months without seeing one another in person.
To allow for this, the public may be asked to travel by car and not by public transport over this period, and to avoid any big gatherings.
News of a vaccine has been brought hope around the world, however, doses will not be ready until the earliest the end of the year.
