Leicestershire and Warwickshire move to Tier 3 Covid-19 restrictions

New coronavirus restrictions have taken effect in Leicestershire and Warwickshire, as the country comes out of its second national lockdown.

The government announced last week what coronavirus restrictions we'll have to live by when the lockdown ended.

Boris Johnson introduced a three-tier system of local Covid-19 alert levels.

Leicestershire and Warwickshire have been placed into Tier 3 - Very high alert.

What does Tier 3 mean?

- Indoor entertainment venues closed
- Avoid travelling outside the area other than where necessary, including foreign travel
