All of Greater Lincolnshire, including North and Northeast Lincolnshire, will be subjected to the most stringent COVID restrictions (level 3) effective December 2.
Newark will be on Level 3 along with all of Nottinghamshire, as well as all of our neighboring counties, except Cambridgeshire (Level 2).
Level 3 means that all shops can open, but pubs and restaurants can only stay open for takeaway services, just like now.

Barbers and beauty salons may reopen, but travel outside Lincolnshire is not recommended, unless for work, care or education.
Entertainment venues such as cinemas and theaters may not reopen.
Schools, universities and places of worship will remain open, although they may be subject to domestic bubbles.
Unlike the level 3 rules above, gyms will be open and people will be able to participate in outdoor sports like golf, tennis, and Sunday football.
The rule of six will apply outdoors, but there will be no mixing of homes.
Weddings and funerals, exercise classes and organized sports can continue. Wedding receptions will not be allowed
The government continues to ask people to try working from home if possible.
Level three areas will also be eligible for the mass test pilot that uses rapid or “lateral flow” coronavirus tests and gives results in about 20 minutes without the need for a lab.
NHS Test and Trace and the military will support local health leaders to implement the program.
Before today’s announcement, Lincolnshire leaders had raised concerns about a blanket ban in the region and on Wednesday voted to write to the government calling for more localized restrictions and control.
There were 508 new coronavirus cases and 29 COVID-related deaths in Greater Lincolnshire on Wednesday.
Lincolnshire’s average infection rate is 289.5 per 100,000 people.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “We are approaching the end of a year in which we have asked a lot from the British people.
“And in response to this unprecedented threat to lives and livelihoods, the British people have truly and well met the challenge by coming together to curb the spread and support each other.
“I know how difficult this has been, especially for those areas that have been under restrictions for so long. “I am very grateful for the determination that people have shown during the crisis thanks to this shared sacrifice.
“We have been able to announce that we will not renew our national restrictions in England. Scientific and medical advice shows that “we must make tears harder than they were before, to protect the NHS during winter.
“These decisions are not easy, but they are necessary.
“While the three tiers are less stringent than the national lockdown we all live in now, to keep people safe and to maintain the gains that have been made, more areas than before will be between the first two tears. This is necessary to protect our NHS and keep the virus under control. “
