A total of 700 new coronavirus cases have been recorded across Nottinghamshire in the past 24 hours, according to the latest Government data.
They come just as Nottinghamshire and vast swathes of the country enter Tier 4, upon rising infection rates across the majority of the country.
Tier 4 generally means rules are now similar in that to those imposed as part of the national lockdown back in November, with all non-essential shops closed and travel outside a locality now prohibited.
Data released as of 4pm on December 31 shows 700 new cases have been reported across the city and county, up from the 623 recorded yesterday (December 30).
In Nottingham, 176 new cases have been reported, bringing the total to 19,978 since records began.
