That's just them paraphrasing, the updates are actually making things less restrictive rather than more. The legislation used to say that you were not allowed to be somewhere you didn't live, the updates now say you can't stay overnight. Similarly the legislation used to say that no outdoor meetings were allowed (apart from same household), that has been amended to no more than six and they added that no social gatherings were allowed in private, but that was the case anyway. They had to add that because now you are allowed to be somewhere else, just not overnight, so they tightened up the bit about social gatherings in private as that scenario was previously covered in the bit that they changed to "overnight".
So before;
Can't be anywhere you don't live (so you can't have a social gathering at someone else's house)
after;
Can't stay overnight where you don't live (so now you *can* socialise at someone else's house if you don't stay overnight?)
Nope, can't have a social gathering in private at all

Remember that media is reliable and trustworthy when they report something that you like and agree with.
If ZurdoDev got this through media, I am sure they are of the reiliable class.

That was actually an easing of the rules. Until Monday, there was no 'cross-household' contact allowed.
ZurdoDev wrote: I doubt it. We've had large gatherings in places and the numbers have not gone up significantly. I think most people were likely already exposed to this virus before lock downs even happened. History will laugh at us.
I think you should wait a couple of weeks (which is how long it takes for an increase to be evident), before declaring an "all clear".
Right now, I'm planning on sitting it out. Just because some people (Cummings, etc.) have been stupid, doesn't mean the rest of us should be. Although the media seems to believe that Dom taking a trip to Durham, is going to convince everyone in the country to start partying!

Obviously. But I wasn't calling "all clear." And we've had large group gatherings going back over a month and still no increase in numbers.

Yes, you are right, it was made legally enforceable on Monday - as opposed to just being 'lockdown rule/guidance'. But the rules/guidance was at the same time eased a little.
So we are now under more relaxed rules/guidance, but they are now Law.

Just to be clear: from Monday you were allowed to go through someone's home to access the back garden, use the toilet, wash your hands, etc. Not to gather.

Same here, on two different computers. I'm waiting to see whether my brand-new work computer that's supposed to be arriving within the next week or so gets the same message.

Reading about it around, it is not our computer, but problems with the update (10 of them) that made MS to hold back the update for computers didn't do it automatically...
Only instead to state that they gone mysterious...
It remember me the old - communist Hungary era - TV screen, stating that the 'Problem is with your receiver' - even it was able to receive that screen without any problem...

I guess you can't be accused of having bugs with the latest update if nobody's allowed to install it.

Damn, that clue is genius on so many levels. Not only have you got the double anagram, but also you could say "Tedious used to be Outside".
