The period under review continued to be dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Westminster Government and the devolved administrations issued a joint statement on 16 December 2020 outlining a series of relaxations on social contacts between 23 and 27 December but even so it seemed that there were mixed feelings about any relaxation. The Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, continued to stress that the Scottish Government's recommendation was to celebrate Christmas at home and to keep interactions with other households to a minimum. The Welsh Government decided that social interactions should be limited to two households only, to be followed by a further lockdown from 28 December.

审查期间继续以 COVID-19 大流行为主。威斯敏斯特政府和权力下放的政府于 2020 年 12 月 16 日发表了一份联合声明，概述了 12 月 23 日至 27 日期间对社交接触的一系列放松，但即便如此，似乎对任何放松都有复杂的感觉。苏格兰首席大臣尼古拉·斯特金继续强调，苏格兰政府的建议是在家中庆祝圣诞节，并将与其他家庭的互动降至最低。威尔士政府决定社交互动应仅限于两个家庭，随后从 12 月 28 日起进一步封锁。
