Scientists have urged families to avoid playing board games at Christmas in a bid to control the spread of coronavirus .
Earlier this week , the Government confirmed that up to three households will be allowed to meet from December 23 to December 27 , with restrictions being temporarily lifted for the festive reason .
But Sage , the Government 's scientific advisory committee , has warned the easing of restrictions could cause a rise in the number of positive Covid-19 cases .
Scientists said families should be as careful as possible and avoid close contact - such as passing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ same surfaces - with those from different households .
In its advice , Sage said people should be aware of the risk of spreading the virus when playing board games which involve a lot of shared pieces .
They have suggested families could choose to try quiz games instead .
In a document released this week , scientists said : `` Transmission through contaminated surfaces .
Games that may be traditionally played such as board games , cards , etc , giving of gifts , sharing of objects and vessels during religious observances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is limited , however viral RNA has been found on high touch surfaces in close proximity to infected people and there is evidence that shared cigarettes and drinking vessels are associated transmission .
`` High touch objects that are shared would increase potential for fomite transmission . ''
Scientists suggested that alternatively people could choose `` activities for those that minimise sharing of objects , for example through playing quiz-based games rather than those which involved lots of shared game pieces '' .
If sleeping at their relatives ' home , children should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than with other kids from different households , Sage 's advice added .
Scientists have also asked Brits to avoid having close contact with vulnerable people , suggesting children should meet their grandparents outdoors where possible .
Sage scientists have also said that increased hygiene , such as wiping down worktops , door handles and chairs could help curb the spread of the virus .
A document named 'Insights on Celebrations and Observances during COVID-19 ' added : `` Additional interactions occur when sharing food and drink , exchanging gifts , hugging , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friends , and neighbours . ''
During a Downing Street conference this week , Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said Brits should avoid hugging their relatives .
Asked by the Mirror 's deputy political editor Ben Glaze about the relaxation of the Covid measures over the festive period , Professor Whitty said : `` Would I say people should hug and kiss their elderly relatives , no I would not . ''
He added : `` They want to survive to get hugged again . ''
Sage said in another document : `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in visiting their older loved ones , those risks can be decreased by minimising other contacts in the week preceding a visit .
`` Socialising before seeing older relatives is more risky than doing so afterwards . ''

He said : `` There are lots of different options , from the whole family coming together at home , to perhaps meeting up for lunch with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a walk on Christmas Day . ''
The latest Sage advice about Christmas has been criticised for sexism after a document was published saying that `` women carry the burden of organising the family and Christmas traditions during the festive holiday '' .

One of the most disruptive projects will be at London King's Cross, which will be closed for six days from Christmas Day.

thedailymirror--2020-11-28--ADVERTORIAL: Bet £5 on a winning horse today to be in a chance of winning £1million

Regular readers will know all about Paddy ’ s £/€1 million giveaway after his Millionaire Chase at Cheltenham on New Year ’ s Day .
But , if you ’ re just joining the party , this Saturday ’ s 3pm at Newbury is even more significant than usual as it is the third of six qualifying races for punters to be able to scoop his loot .
To be in with a shout just opt in on Paddy ’ s app or paddypower.com and then on those platforms place a winning bet of a minimum £/€5 on Saturday ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three later qualifying races .
If you find the winner you ’ ll go into a random draw on Monday and if selected , you ’ ll be guaranteed a consolation £/€10k on your assigned horse in the Millionaire Chase but should that horse prevail you ’ ll pocket the cool million .
So , the pressure is on this column to come up with the goods and while Kim Bailey ’ s Vinndication is a worthy favourite having finished runner-up to Cyrname last time in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weight to carry and preference is for Colin Tizzard ’ s Copperhead ( 9/1 ) .
The Milborne Port magician knows exactly what it takes to land this prestigious event having captured it twice in the last four seasons courtesy of Native River in 2016 and Sizing Tennessee two years later .
The selection was brilliant when landing the Mandarin Handicap Chase over course and distance in December and he then stepped up a level with an impressive victory in the Grade 2 Reynoldstown Novices ’ Chase at Ascot in February .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ championship RSA Novices ’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival the following month , but despite being sent off at just 6-1 , for whatever reason , he failed to fire and he was beaten when suffering a tired tumble at the last .
He also failed to finish on his seasonal debut at Wetherby last month , but not too much should be read into that as connections were trying to take advantage of a more lenient hurdle mark and while it didn ’ t come off as he was a bit clumsy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been designed to put him cherry ripe for this .
Copperhead has never been beaten when competing over 3m 1f or further and a 17-length winner of the Reynoldstown makes him a truly legitimate contender for a race of this nature .
One horse who ran at Newbury last year was subsequent Champion Hurdle heroine Epatante ( 4/6 ) and she must have been some certainty off a mark of 137 in an intermediate hurdle !
This year she lines up in the Betfair Fighting Fifth Hurdle ( 2.05pm ) at Newcastle and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beat as not only is she top-rated , but she also benefits from a 7lb mares ’ allowance .
She ’ s a marvellous jumper of timber and although she ’ s never ran at the north-east venue it shouldn ’ t be a problem and Seven Barrows sorcerer Nicky Henderson ’ s charge has won first time out the last two seasons .

To be in with a shout just opt in on Paddy’s app or paddypower.com and then on those platforms place a winning bet of a minimum £/€5 on Saturday’s designated contest or one of the three later qualifying races.
If you find the winner you’ll go into a random draw on Monday and if selected, you’ll be guaranteed a consolation £/€10k on your assigned horse in the Millionaire Chase but should that horse prevail you’ll pocket the cool million.
So, the pressure is on this column to come up with the goods and while Kim Bailey’s Vinndication is a worthy favourite having finished runner-up to Cyrname last time in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby, he’s got a lot of weight to carry and preference is for Colin Tizzard’s Copperhead (9/1) .
The Milborne Port magician knows exactly what it takes to land this prestigious event having captured it twice in the last four seasons courtesy of Native River in 2016 and Sizing Tennessee two years later.
The selection was brilliant when landing the Mandarin Handicap Chase over course and distance in December and he then stepped up a level with an impressive victory in the Grade 2 Reynoldstown Novices’ Chase at Ascot in February.
That left him a leading contender for the championship RSA Novices’ Chase at the Cheltenham Festival the following month, but despite being sent off at just 6-1, for whatever reason, he failed to fire and he was beaten when suffering a tired tumble at the last.
He also failed to finish on his seasonal debut at Wetherby last month, but not too much should be read into that as connections were trying to take advantage of a more lenient hurdle mark and while it didn’t come off as he was a bit clumsy four out, that outing would have been designed to put him cherry ripe for this.
Copperhead has never been beaten when competing over 3m 1f or further and a 17-length winner of the Reynoldstown makes him a truly legitimate contender for a race of this nature.
One horse who ran at Newbury last year was subsequent Champion Hurdle heroine Epatante (4/6) and she must have been some certainty off a mark of 137 in an intermediate hurdle!
This year she lines up in the Betfair Fighting Fifth Hurdle (2.05pm) at Newcastle and she’ll be very hard to beat as not only is she top-rated, but she also benefits from a 7lb mares’ allowance.
She’s a marvellous jumper of timber and although she’s never ran at the north-east venue it shouldn’t be a problem and Seven Barrows sorcerer Nicky Henderson’s charge has won first time out the last two seasons.

The broadcasting giants said: “After listeners raised concerns, Steve acknowledged some of his comments on air didn’t meet the standards we expect.
“He is taking a break but will be back in the New Year.”
Other comments included him saying "I think the referee’s wife’s in…" and “[he's] being a bit of a drama queen….. he’d have been better wearing a skirt.”
Mirror Football understands Thompson had previously been sent a written warning about his use of language in 2018.
Thompson will not be used by the BBC again until 2021, but as a freelancer cannot be suspended by the corporation, they have confirmed.

Bruno Tonioli is said to fear he may be 'forgotten ' from the Strictly Come Dancing judging panel and replaced by Anton du Beke .
The 65-year-old choreographer has been largely absent from the 2020 season of Strictly after he ditched the show in favour of maintaining his judging seat on Dancing With The Stars in the USA instead .
As a result , the usual Strictly line-up of judges was cut to three for the current 18th season – with Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse joining head judge Shirley Ballas on the panel .
Bruno has made brief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ via satellite link from Los Angeles where Dancing With The Stars is filmed .
However , earlier this month , 39-year-old Mosti was forced to steer clear of the Strictly studios for two weeks to self-isolate in-line with government guidelines relating to the coronavirus pandemic as she had made an emergency trip to Germany .
With Mosti out of action , 54-year-old Anton was drafted to take her place and proved something of a hit with fans – a fact that appears to have rattled Bruno .
A source close to the star @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bruno feels a bit out of the loop with the UK show and even though he hasn ’ t been able to film it this year , it ’ s really important to him .
“ He has told pals he is worried about viewers preferring Anton and forgetting about him.
” Anton – who was the first to be voted off the 2020 series as a professional dancer alongside contestant Jacqui Smith – has hinted he wants to hang up his dance shoes .
He previously said : `` As as I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t compete anymore I don ’ t like to compete now , funnily enough .

Boris Johnson has warned there will be `` disastrous consequences '' for the NHS without the introduction of new tiered coronavirus restrictions when the national lockdown ends next week .
The Prime Minister , who faces a Commons showdown with his own MPs over the stringent measures , urged the nation to `` work together '' with tiering , testing and vaccines .
Writing in the Mail on Sunday , he stressed that it was too early to relax restrictions , but said he believed Easter would mark a `` real chance to return to something like life as normal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We ca n't blow it now .

His comments came as he attempted to head off a rebellion by offering Parliament another chance to vote on the restrictions early next year , saying the legislation will have a `` sunset of February 3 '' .

thedailymirror--2020-11-29--Grandma, 82, slapped with £75 fine after dropping piece of tissue on pavement

A pensioner has been slapped with a £75 fine after dropping a piece of tissue on the pavement .
Margaret Newton , 82 , was shopping with her grandson Mark when she was stopped by two environmental protection officers in Windsor .
Mark said his grandma accidentally dropped the tissue as she tried to get her keys from her handbag .
The woman said it was an accident , but according to council officials it was `` dropped deliberately '' , Manchester Evening News reports .
After receiving the £75 fine , Margaret was told it would increase to £100 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two weeks .
The fine 's amount is the same as her weekly state pension which the pensioner uses to buy food , her grandson said .
Mark told the M.E.N : `` We were just walking to the shop on Monday at about 12pm , it was a residential road , not a very busy main road .
`` I was going to the bus stop and when I looked across the road I could see these two men coming up to speak to her .
`` At first I thought she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gave it a couple of seconds , but they were still talking to her so I went over .
`` As I got there , she said they were giving her a fine . ''
Margaret was handed a fixed penalty notice by council officers under Section 87 and 88 of the Environmental Protection Act .
`` You could n't even see the supposed litter because it was that small , '' Mark said .
`` I said to them 'she is 82 and even if she had seen it , she probably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pick it up ' .
`` I offered to pick up the rubbish for them and they just replied saying 'rules are rules ' . ''
Mark told his grandma not to pay the fine and sent an appeal , but was told he could not do it on her behalf because of data protection laws .
He added : `` She is 82-years-old and does n't have a computer or an email address , how is she going to appeal that herself ?
`` It 's five weeks before Christmas and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She lives on her own . ''
A Windsor and Maidenhead council spokesperson said : “ We have reviewed the details of this case and we are satisfied that the tissue was dropped deliberately , and that there was no attempt to place the tissue in a pocket , bag or to pick it up following it being used .

Margaret Newton, 82, was shopping with her grandson Mark when she was stopped by two environmental protection officers in Windsor - now she faces a fine as big as her weekly pension
Grandma, 82, slapped with £75 fine after dropping piece of tissue on pavement
A pensioner has been slapped with a £75 fine after dropping a piece of tissue on the pavement.
Margaret Newton, 82, was shopping with her grandson Mark when she was stopped by two environmental protection officers in Windsor.
Mark said his grandma accidentally dropped the tissue as she tried to get her keys from her handbag.
The woman said it was an accident, but according to council officials it was "dropped deliberately", Manchester Evening News reports.
After receiving the £75 fine, Margaret was told it would increase to £100 if she did not pay it within two weeks.

The fine's amount is the same as her weekly state pension which the pensioner uses to buy food, her grandson said.
Mark told the M.E.N: "We were just walking to the shop on Monday at about 12pm, it was a residential road, not a very busy main road.
"I was going to the bus stop and when I looked across the road I could see these two men coming up to speak to her.
"At first I thought she might have lost something, so I gave it a couple of seconds, but they were still talking to her so I went over.
"As I got there, she said they were giving her a fine."
Margaret was handed a fixed penalty notice by council officers under Section 87 and 88 of the Environmental Protection Act.
"You couldn't even see the supposed litter because it was that small," Mark said.
"I said to them 'she is 82 and even if she had seen it, she probably wouldn't be able to bend down to pick it up'.
"I offered to pick up the rubbish for them and they just replied saying 'rules are rules'."
Mark told his grandma not to pay the fine and sent an appeal, but was told he could not do it on her behalf because of data protection laws.
He added: "She is 82-years-old and doesn't have a computer or an email address, how is she going to appeal that herself?
"It's five weeks before Christmas and all she gets is state pension. She lives on her own."
A Windsor and Maidenhead council spokesperson said: “We have reviewed the details of this case and we are satisfied that the tissue was dropped deliberately, and that there was no attempt to place the tissue in a pocket, bag or to pick it up following it being used.
“A representation to appeal the Fixed Penalty Notice has been received, which is under review."

Chris Wilder has vowed he will `` always look after Sheffield United '' after he was accused of being `` selfish '' by Jurgen Klopp .
The Blades boss sparked a war of words with Klopp last week as he labelled the Liverpool manager `` selfish '' for calling for the return of the five substitutes .
Wilder followed up his remarks by flagging what he sees as more self-interest by `` world-class politician '' Klopp over the return of fans to certain stadiums .
Klopp returned fire by highlighting Sheffield United 's meagre tally of just one point in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ substitutions rule was voted down last summer .
Ahead of Liverpool 's 1-1 draw at Brighton , the German also turned Wilder 's jibe back on him by branding him `` selfish '' .
And the back-and-fourth exchange between the two managers continued as Wilder gave his post-match interview following his side 's 1-0 defeat to West Brom .
Asked if he had a response to Klopp 's recent remarks , Wilder told Sky Sports : `` Not right at this particular moment .
I can imagine you can understand my view on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time .
`` Today is talking about today 's result and as Jurgen [ said ] - a good observation - we 're still on that one point , as he pointed out .
Would the five substitutions rule hand the Premier League 's richest clubs an advantage ?
