People who live in Bradford and Wakefield could be subject to the strict new lockdown measures that have been imposed on Leeds.
The government announced on Friday, September 25 that Leeds was being placed under the new rules after a worrying rise in cases across the past few weeks.
With the infection rate now standing at more than 100 cases per 100,000 of the population, local lockdown rules mean that people all over Leeds cannot mix with anyone from outside their own household in homes or gardens. Even meeting up in public places is strongly advised against.
Roughly 780,000 people across Leeds fall under the new rules - although that total figure does include some areas which actually have a WF or BD postcode.
That is because the new local coronavirus rules cover everyone whose bins are collected by Leeds City Council. The areas affected include those with a WF3 postcode, among others.
Tweeting after the announcement on Friday, September 25, Cllr Lisa Mulherin, the representative for Ardsley & Robin Hood and an executive board member at Leeds City Council, said: "The government is introducing new local Covid19 restrictions in the Leeds City Council area from midnight tonight.
"This includes residents across East & West Ardsley, Thorpe, Tingley, Lofthouse and Robin Hood."
Enter your postcode here to see if you fall under the new local lockdown restrictions for Leeds. If no results show for your postcode, you fall outside the Leeds restrictions - although you may still be living in an area where Bradford restrictions apply.
The new Leeds local lockdown rules could last for up to six months after the government imposed new measures on the city.
Leeds' director of public health, Victoria Eaton, said: "The expectation is that the restrictions will be in place for a longer period of time, potentially right through the winter."
The reasons for the spread of cases are not totally clear but the government has pinpointed stopping households from mixing as a key way we can reduce the number of new cases.
Yesterday, Leeds City Council's chief executive, Mr Riordan, said: "We don’t have enough people doing those basics of wearing a mask, socially distancing and that is what we will need next."
