A nighttime curfew is not being introduced in the UK – Full Fact

Debunking the Nighttime Curfew Myth in the UK

A nighttime curfew is not being introduced in the UK, contrary to social media claims.

False social media videos, including one viewed 350,000 times, have spread misinformation about new laws imposing curfews.

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 claim is entirely false. No such curfew is being introduced, and breaking a nonexistent curfew will not lead to a fine or arrest.

Full Fact, a team of independent fact checkers and campaigners, aims to improve the information environment and protect good public debate by exposing and countering bad information.
