An electronic billboard displays government messages about the coronavirus pandemic in a shopping centre in Leeds, northern England, on November 1, 2020 as England prepares to enter into a second lockdown in an effort to stem soaring infections. A new four-week coronavirus lockdown in England will be extended if it fails to reduce infection rates, the government said Sunday, as it faced criticism over the abrupt decision to shut down again. The second national lockdown, hastily announced late Saturday following warnings hospitals could become overwhelmed within weeks, is set to come into force from Thursday and end on December 2.
