Parts of Essex to enter Tier 3 (Very High) restrictions on Wednesday 16 December

Published on in Coronavirus

The government announced yesterday (Monday 14 December) that parts of Essex will move into Tier 3 (Very High) Covid alert level from 00:00 on Wednesday 16 December.

Last week we urged the government to keep Essex in Tier 2 (High) based on our overall infection rate. We had argued strongly to remain in Tier 2, given the impact on jobs and businesses, especially in the hospitality sector, in the run-up to Christmas.

However, the government confirmed the following areas will move to Tier 3 (Very High) restrictions on Wednesday:

  • Basildon
  • Braintree
  • Brentwood
  • Castle Point
  • Chelmsford
  • Epping Forest
  • Harlow
  • Maldon
  • Rochford

The neighbouring unitary councils of Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock will also move to Tier 3 (Very High).

Colchester, Tendring and Uttlesford remain in Tier 2 (High) alert level. This will be reviewed by government tomorrow (Wednesday 16 December).

We now turn our focus to supporting businesses through the restrictions and working with government to secure further business support. In this newsletter you can find:
