Newark and Sherwood will be moved up into tier four restrictions from 31st December 2020.

It means beauty salons, hairdressers, gyms and other non-essential outlets will have to close and people must not leave their homes unless they have a "reasonable excuse" such as education, work or exercise.

The restrictions were announced by Health Secretary Matt Hancock in the House of Commons earlier today.

Restrictions in tier four mean:

• Residents should stay at home, unless they have a "reasonable excuse" such as work or education
• All non-essential shops must close
• Hairdressers and nail bars must close
• Indoor entertainment venues must close
• Hospitality is closed except for takeaway, drive-thru or delivery
• Gyms and indoor swimming pools, indoor sports courts and dance studios must close
• You cannot meet other people indoors, unless you live with them or they are part of your support bubble
• People should not leave tier four areas or travel abroad, except for limited reasons (including work and education)
• Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies are only allowed in exceptional circumstances
