Nottinghamshire

 I have received the following briefing this morning about Nottinghamshire:

"Yesterday the Health Secretary announced that Nottinghamshire will move to the Very High Level from Friday, as we continue to take the necessary steps to stop the spread of the virus in communities across England, protect the NHS and save lives.

  • With infection rates amongst the highest in the country and continuing to rise rapidly, we have agreed with local leaders in Nottinghamshire a series of tough local measures, which will come into effect from 0001 on Friday 30 October. 
     
  • The rate of COVID-19 infections is rising rapidly across the UK. The weekly case rate in England stood at 201 people per 100,000 from 15 October to 21 October, up from 100 people per 100,000 for the week 25 September to 1 October. 
     
  • We never take these decision lightly  as we understand how difficult life is for communities living under these restrictions, and the impact that they have on families and businesses in the county, which is why we have worked together to agree an extensive package of support to help local people and businesses through the ongoing challenges this pandemic brings. 
     
  • We want to thank local leaders for their continued support and extend our gratitude to the people of Nottinghamshire, and communities across the country, who continue to show real resilience, consistently working together to follow the rules and help bring down rates of infection."
