The relaxation of restrictions over Christmas could trigger a "tsunami" of coronavirus cases, according to a nursing chief, as frustration continues over England's tier system.
More than two-thirds of England will be living under Tier 3 restrictions from Saturday, only for restrictions on household mixing to be relaxed from next Wednesday for the festive period.
With a week to go until Christmas Day, nurses are calling on the government to give "fresh and more detailed" advice to the public in an effort to prevent a surge in COVID-19 cases in the new year.
Dame Donna Kinnair, chief executive and general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said: "After a difficult year, it is everybody's instinct to want to be together and see loved ones - especially those who live far apart or feel isolated.
"But what is at stake is coming into sharp focus."
"Travelling and family visits associated with this time of year will undoubtedly lead to more cases, more pressure on NHS and care services, and more deaths. By turning the second and third waves into an unrelenting tsunami, we would begin 2021 in the worst possible way."
Dame Donna added that nurses would not be able to enjoy the Christmas period "knowing what awaits them in January", and urged ministers to give more information on the risks of mixing at Christmas, saying: "This virus isn't taking Christmas off and nor should we."

Gotta keep the fear going with scaring people about things that might happen and never will.
Most of what we fear to happen doesn’t.
Still waiting for evidence of that tsunami of cases from Thanksgiving.
top nurse warns, no name
Just give everyone invermectin when they start feeling sick and the problem is solved. Period. No need for lockdowns or even for vaccines.
But there’s no profit for big pharma in that...
She’s the head nurse with dirty knees.
Exactly.
They left her name out, to prevent everyone threatening her for being the Christmas Scrooge.
Suspect like our Fauci, everyone is sick of listening to the “experts”. Their batting record is not very good.
I live in a Spanish tourist town on the Mediterranean coast. Naturally all coastal towns in Spain are Spanish ones except Gibraltar but, unlike Estopona, Marbella, Benidorm, Nerja, etc. we attract mostly locals and people from the interior rather than Europeans who have to fly in. Our population is normally around 27,000 people but in the summer season the population doubles and triples depending on what's going on. So this past summer we had people coming from all parts of Spain to enjoy the beaches, the weather, the dining, etc.
The busiest part of the Summer season is from July 1 until September 1. During that time we had more people drown than die of covid.
Everyone who attended my illegal Thanksgiving gathering has been fine.
The hoax continues.......
This is getting old!!!!!!
What’s the mortality rate of Covid, again? Less than 1 percent?
Her name is Nurse Wratched. And she’s making it all about her and her fellow nurses. Why don’t they just wear masks?
Cases in my state were leveling off. A 25% spike after Thanksgiving.
Define “case”.
The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.
Viruses gonna virus. Even non-viruses gonna non-virus.
The only thing that will cause an abatement is the vernal equinox, not a deepened loss of liberty.
Very interesting, thanks.
CONTROL™!!!!!!
Her name is Donna Kinnear, she is the head of the Royal College of Nursing.
It’s right in the article extract. Sheesh!
Its been shown that the dreaded Thanksgiving tsunami was a flop. Its all about control, not the disease.
