mirror.co.ukShops and schools will be allowed to reopen in Leicester in the coming weeks, Matt Hancock has revealed. The city will remain in partial lockdown, but the boundary will be tightened to make the affected area smaller.
Some non-essential retail will be allowed to reopen on July 24th - though pubs will have to stay closed. And there will be a 'targeted local power' to close retail where necessary.
Travel will still be restricted, and gatherings of more than six people will still not be allowed. The latest figures for Leicester show a seven-day rate of 126 cases per 100,000 people, compared to 17.8 for Leicestershire as a whole, 9.3 in Derby and 5.4 in Nottingham.
