Following an announcement from Secretary of State for Health Matt Hancock this afternoon, Cambridgeshire will enter into Tier 4 from Saturday.
Tier 4 restrictions will come into effect at 00.01am on Boxing Day, Matt Hancock said in a press conference live from Downing Street.
The new restrictions mean that households will not be able to mix, with the exception of support bubbles, and non-essential businesses will have to close.
What does each tier mean?
People living in Cambridgeshire must stay at home, work from home where they can, and not travel out of Tier 4 areas.

Other areas entering Tier 4 from this latest announcement include East Anglia, both East and West Sussex, as well as Oxfordshire; meaning the entire South East of England is under the harshest coronavirus restrictions in the country.
