NORTH Essex has escaped being plunged into Tier 3 of coronavirus restrictions after the Government’s latest review but council bosses have warned residents need to stick to the rules as the infection rate in Essex rises. Health Secretary Matt Hancock addressed Parliament yesterday, announcing the latest Tier rules for towns and cities across England. Both Colchester and Tendring will remain under Tier 2 rules, despite most of Essex moving to Tier 3, the strictest level of restrictions. Mr Hancock has kept the areas in Tier 2, where they will remain until the next review on or about Wednesday. The rest of Essex, except Uttlesford, will remain under Tier 3 rules.
The rest of Essex, except Uttlesford, will remain under Tier 3 rules. In Parliament Mr Hancock said the UK has “come so far” and “mustn’t blow it now”. He said: “As we enter the coldest months we must be vigilant and keep this virus under control. “Yesterday 25,161 cases were reported and there are 18,038 people in hospital with coronavirus in the UK. We must keep supressing this virus. “And this isn’t just a matter for Government or for this House, it is a matter for every single person and these are always the most difficult months for people’s health and for the NHS.
