Covid: Nottingham to move into tier 3
- Published
Nottingham and parts of the surrounding county will move into the top tier of Covid restrictions, it has been confirmed.
People living in the city, along with Rushcliffe, Gedling and Broxtowe, face the toughest restrictions.
The measures come into force at one minute past midnight on Thursday and will expire after 28 days.
It comes after the city consistently recorded one of the highest infection rates in England.
There are now 7.9 million people in England living in the tier three - the "very high" alert level.
This means pubs that do not serve substantial meals have to close, and there are further restrictions on households mixing.
The affected parts of Nottinghamshire join Liverpool City Region, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, South Yorkshire and Warrington in the highest tier.
Details of the lockdown will be formally announced on Tuesday, but in a joint statement local councils said the measures "have been agreed to achieve a sustained reduction in infection rates" and to "protect our vulnerable residents, the NHS and social care services".
Residents and businesses who are affected will receive "a package of support similar to those secured in other parts of the country".
