A nighttime curfew is not being introduced in the UK, contrary to false claims on social media.
Videos circulating online, with over 350,000 views, falsely state that new laws imposing curfews are coming into force soon.
Nationwide curfews (either 10pm or 11pm) are being introduced under a new law by the UK government which bans being out of your house at night.
However, this is not true. No such curfew is being introduced, and breaking a nonexistent curfew will not lead to a fine or arrest.
