Thursday's front pages are dominated by England's new coronavirus social distancing measures.
"Christmas to bring little cheer" is the headline on the front page of the Daily Telegraph. The paper, like many, leads with the new coronavirus lockdown measures set out by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday. From 14 September, gatherings in England will be restricted to a maximum of six people.
In his public address, Mr Johnson also outlined a "moonshot" plan to control the virus with mass testing, possibly by next spring. The Metro - quoting a leaked memo seen by the British Medical Journal - says that plan could cost £100bn. That total, the paper says, is "almost as much as NHS England's entire £130bn annual budget".
