Good Morning Britain doctor Hilary Jones pointed out an apparent “glaring error” in Boris Johnson ‘s new lockdown restrictions.
The new rules include things such as the rule of six, meaning people cannot mix in groups of more than six, and a 10pm curfew in pubs, bars and restaurants.
But Dr Hilary explained that he thinks things should have gone further, as Piers Morgan said: “In Scotland, you can’t even meet people from another household.
“In England you can meet with six other people from six different households. It doesn’t make any sense.”
Dr Hilary responded: “This is the one glaring error in which most medical experts agree, that when you have six people meeting up from potentially six different households, the potential for transmission is very significant.

“If it’s two households, it’s much much less, and of course if you can’t visit anybody else indoors in another household, as you can’t in Scotland, you’re going to get the R-rate down.
“The restrictions imposed yesterday don’t seem to go quite far enough, they haven’t changed much at all.”
He added: “This rule of six is an odd one. If six people meet up, five people can go and meet five more people an hour later.”
