The new geographical extension of the Tier 4 lockdown comes as another new 'more transmissable' coronavirus variant is detected, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has announced.
Areas affected are ...
- Sussex
- Oxfordshire
- Suffolk
- Norfolk
- Cambridgeshire
- Parts of Essex currently not in Tier 4
- Waverley in Surrey
- Hampshire (apart from the New Forest)
The measure is effectively a regional lockdown and will come into force on Boxing Day. This comes as a huge blow to the barbering industry, despite going to great lengths to ensure PPE and hygiene measures are followed.
