For five days over Christmas, three households will be able to form a temporary ''Christmas bubble'' and mix indoors

The four UK governments have said that families will be able to celebrate Christmas together by easing restrictions for five days over the festive period.

Between 23 and 27 December (22 and 28 December in Northern Ireland), households will be able to form "Christmas bubbles" with two other households and will be able to meet indoors and stay overnight.

You cannot switch your bubbles and you should consider the risks involved with meeting other people, especially if they are vulnerable.

BBC Asian Network have explained the rules in five South Asian languages; Gujarati, Punjabi, Sylheti, Tamil and Urdu.
