The system puts areas of the UK into three distinct tiers, based on their levels of coronavirus, infection rates and strains on the health service.
From Saturday, October 17, London will enter into Tier 2, which will see those in the capital banned from socialising with anyone not in their household.
As the outbreak continues and tiered restrictions are enforced across the country, Buckingham Palace announced the cancellation of future royal engagements until 2021.
In a statement on their website Buckingham Palace said: “In line with current government guidelines, and as a sensible precaution in the current circumstances, there will be no large scale events held at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle for the rest of this year.
