Leicester lockdown extended
Guardian, 30 Jun 2020
The lockdown in Leicester will be extended beyond 4 July, health secretary Matt Hancock has announced in parliament on Monday night.
The government made recourse to the statutory powers to close down Leicester as it has an infection rate of 135 per 100,000 people, three times higher than the next highest local area
Schools in Leicester will have to close on Thursday, except for essential workers' children, and those shielding will continue to do so as Hancock announced extra funding to increase testing
