It's a regional approach and Government is asking us all to work together to get the virus under control.

The Government says it has put Derby and Derbyshire into Tier 3 from 16 December primarily based on 5 key epidemiological indicators:
- case detection rates in all age groups
- case detection rates in the over-60s
- the rate at which cases are rising or falling
- positivity rate (the number of positive cases detected as a percentage of tests taken)
- pressure on the NHS, including current and projected occupancy
