Scientists are due to meet this week to decide if Northamptonshire remains in Tier Three or moves closer to starting 2021 in a full lockdown.
Epidemiologists from the Joint Biosecurity Centre will lead studies into how Covid-19 is spreading across the country.

Flooding, snow and winds of more than 100mph saw many parts of the UK coping with tricky weather conditions over the weekend.
Two threat-to-life flood warnings were in place in Northamptonshire on Sunday morning, while snow fell in Scotland and a top wind speed of 106mph was recorded at the Needles on the Isle of Wight overnight on Saturday.

Clean up efforts continue after a weekend of deluge from Storm Bella saw winds of more than 100mph litter train tracks with fallen trees and other debris whilst homes and roads flooded.
South Western, Southeastern Railway and the London Overground were all forced cancel or delay services today whilst clean up operations took place to clear tracks of a chaotic combination of obstructions and flooding.
All trains between Bournemouth and Southampton Central were stopped due to water on the line, Great Western Railway said, and one of the major lines into London was also blocked when a tree fell onto the tracks in Haslemere, Surrey.
