How to instantly know about lockdown rules in your postcode

There is now an easy way to know about the lockdown rules in your postcode.

It comes as Nottingham looks set to be given tighter restrictions by the government after a worrying rise in the number of cases in recent weeks.

The new rules are expected to be in place by Friday, but the people in the city are being urged not to visit other households now in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus.

And as the infection rate rises across Nottinghamshire, it's not easy to keep up with what you can and can't do where you live.

Our colleagues at In Your Area have created an online tool that will instantly tell you what measures are in your area, Chesire Live reports.

All you need to do is enter your postcode in the box below, and it'll tell you what the new lockdown measures are in your neighbourhood.

No local restrictions are officially in place yet. However, this useful tool will be updated as and when the Government updates the local restrictions later this week.

Alison Challenger, the director for Public Health at Nottingham City Council, told Nottinghamshire Live: "We know that the Government consider every week what measures need to be put in place in local areas and when.

"With such a high rate now that's something we are anticipating coming from national later this week, we have not been told specifically about that at the moment.

"Because the rates are as high as they are we can expect to see measures similar to those in other parts of the country, such as those in the north-west and Leicester."
