Wednesday's front pages are split between new coronavirus rules and the latest Brexit developments.
The Metro leads on the government's ban on social gatherings of more than six people in England. It will see the current limit of 30 "slashed", the paper says, as the prime minister "battles" a new "spike" in coronavirus cases. The paper previews a press conference that Mr Johnson is due to hold later on Wednesday, to announce a change in the law to enforce the new limit. "Safe six" is the headline.
Local curfews in other areas are being considered as the government seeks to emulate Belgium, the Times says, "which has bucked the trend of rising numbers of cases in Europe by banning people from going out at night". The paper also previews the launch of a government advertising campaign, starting on Wednesday, which will explain how social distancing, hand-washing and wearing face coverings reduces the spread of the virus.
