Gedling borough has recorded another jump in coronavirus cases with 64 more people testing positive in the last 24 hours.
The borough had been recording around 14 a day but this figure has leaped up in recent days.
The figures have been published by Public Health England.
People in the borough are now expecting to hear on Monday about extra lockdown measures being introduced to help curb the rise in cases.
It was initially hoped that many of the postcodes across Gedling borough would be exempt from extra measures with new cases not being as high as Nottingham city and other areas.
But a leaked Government report seen yesterday seemed to suggest that the borough would be included when new measures are introduced next Wednesday.
In the meantime, leader of Gedling Borough Council, John Clarke has asked residents to refrain from mixing with other household to try and help keep new case numbers down in the borough.
He said: “It is important that we act now to help tackle the spread of the virus in Gedling.
“I appreciate the frustrations and challenges that new restrictions and measures may bring, but we have to work together and all play our part in protecting each other and our communities.
“We all want nothing more than to return to normal, to meet with our friends and family in ways we wish to and for our local businesses and economy to get fully back on their feet – to do that we all need to work together by sticking to rules and local guidance.”
