UK COVID-19: Leicester city on full lockdown


The UK's first full local lockdown has been announced in Leicester, with stricter measures imposed in the city.

Non-essential shops is expected to shut today, and schools will close for most pupils on Thursday because of a rise in coronavirus cases.

The loosening of restrictions for pubs and restaurants in England on Saturday will also not be taking place.

Health secretary, Matt Hancock said measures would be enforced by police in some cases.

Hancock said the city had 10% of all positive cases in the country over the past week.

The secretary of state added that the new local measures would be in place for at least two weeks, but kept under constant review, and we will not keep them in place any longer than is necessary.
