Dear Resident,
This is the national lockdown none of us wanted to see happen again, and that so many of us have worked so hard to prevent.
Locally the situation is that Melton has seen its rate per 100,000 increase by 791% between the 7 day period ending 28 September and the latest 7 day period.
Rutland has seen its rate per 100,000 increase by 207% between the 7 day period ending 28 September and the latest 7 day period.
Market Harborough has seen its rate per 100,000 increase by 466% between the 7 day period ending 28 September and the latest 7 day period.
The Prime Minister has today announced the following measures that will be in place from Thursday 5th November until at least December 2nd:
- You must work from home if you can reasonably do so.
- You must not leave the house unless it is for medical need, to meet caring obligations, for education, for childcare or for work unless you cannot reasonably do so from home. You may leave the house to exercise.
- Pubs, restaurants and non-essential retail will close.
- A nationwide ban on different households mixing inside homes.
Nurseries and schools will remain open, and informal childcare will be allowed I understand
The furlough scheme will be extended throughout November with more details to follow later this week.
The Government hopes that from December 2nd, the regional Tier system will resume.
I'm anticipating detailed Government guidance on these adjustments shortly which I will share with residents as soon as it is released.
My team and I stand by to support any constituent with concerns or in need of help, please email me.
Stay safe -
