Regional restrictions in England are "probably about to get tougher" to curb rising Covid infections, the prime minister has warned.
Boris Johnson told the BBC tougher measures may be required in parts of the country in the coming weeks.
He said this included the possibility of keeping schools closed, although this is not "something we want to do".
But he added ministers had to be "realistic" about the spread of the new variant of the virus.
Mr Johnson said the government was "entirely reconciled to doing what it takes to get the virus down," and warned of a "tough period ahead".
He said increasing vaccination would provide a way out of restrictions and that he hoped "tens of millions" would be vaccinated in the next three months.
