Lincolnshire health bosses said they’re preparing for a “potential third wave” of COVID-19 coming to the county, but not of the same magnitude as previous waves due to enhanced testing, vaccination and immunity.
They have also said they “aren’t seeing a major impact” on the county’s coronavirus levels since the next set of restrictions eased on April 12.
The government’s roadmap out of lockdown allowed pubs and restaurants to operate outside, non-essential retail, hairdressers, salons, gyms, zoos and theme parks to open as well as enabling people to meet outside in groups of six.

Two Lincoln sisters will launch their first business together this summer – a mix of Japanese and British cuisine set in a premium cocktail lounge in the former home of Revolution.
Ellie and Zara Pickles, who are aged 23 and 20, grew up in hospitality and have always dreamt of running a business together in their hometown and set up Cognito Bar And Restaurant Ltd earlier this year.
The Revolution Bars Group shut two loss-making venues, including on Park Street in Lincoln in January 2020, as it tried to reduce the money it pays in rent. It was put on the market through Fleurets as a freehold for £500,000 plus VAT.
