Leeds City Council’s leader has called on the district to come together to combat the “insidious” virus after the city was officially ranked on the government’s new three-tier Covid-19 lockdown system.

Leeds was named in the ‘high alert’ middle tier of the government’s new system in response to a rise in the number of cases of the virus in households and communities across the city.

Households will not be able to mix indoors including in homes, leisure or hospitality venues. Households will be able to mix outside, including in parks, and private gardens provided they do not gather in groups of more than six.
