The weekend saw a record rise in coronavirus cases across Greater Lincolnshire as the Prime Minister announced new lockdown measures from Thursday.

The weekend also saw seven deaths confirmed in government figures.

On Saturday, Greater Lincolnshire saw the third record day for numbers in a week with 396 new cases.

During an evening briefing, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a month-long second national lockdown to take place from November 5 until Wednesday, December 2 at the earliest.

As part of the measures:

Non essential shops, leisure and entertainment will close

Pubs, bars and restaurants must close, except for takeaway and collections

Workplaces can stay open if work cannot be done from home

Schools, universities and education settings will remain open

The furlough system will be extended until December

Mr Johnson is due to speak with MPs in the house of commons on Monday, where he will say there was "no alternative" and that he had tried "every possible option" beforehand.

"Models of our scientists suggest that unless we act now, we could see deaths over the winter that are twice as bad or more compared with the first wave," he is expected to say.

On Sunday, a further 486 cases were confirmed taking the weekend tally to 882 cases and the week to a total of 3,115 cases this week.
