Boris Johnson will today clarify new rule changes when it comes to social gatherings in England, after yesterday's announcement sparked widespread confusion.

Prompted by the spike in coronavirus cases in the UK - with over 2,400 new cases declared every day in the last three days alone - the Government has announced that as of Monday there will be a ban on gatherings of over six people.

But the proposed changes have divided the public, with many pointing out the discrepancy between the Government's campaign to get pupils back into schools and employees to return to offices, and social situations.

Naturally, Twitter has lit up with responses and reactions to the news - bringing both sassy replies and witty memes.

Here are some of the best ones doing the rounds...

The Prime Minister is set to make an announcement today, shortly after PMQs at midday.

It is expected that more details about the ban on social gatherings will be revealed.
