15 pictures from Sunderland city centre as tier 2 restrictions come into force

Sunderland is coming to terms with the latest coronavirus restrictions to be imposed by Government.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveiled the new system on Monday, with areas graded as having Medium, High or Very High levels of risk.

The rules on businesses opening and who and where people can meet differ according to the level of threat.

The regulations came into force today and Sunderland photographer Stuart Norton has been out and about in the city centre to see how people are coping.
