Gedling Borough is to remain in Tier 3, the Government has announced.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has made the announcement in the House of Commons this morning.
Both Nottingham and Nottinghamshire will also remain in tier 3.
The Government said rates of infection, their trajectory and pressures on the local health and social care system are all factors considered in making the decision.
The next review is expected in two weeks.
Nottinghamshire councils have pledged to work together to help communities throughout the festive period and into 2021.
Jonathan Gribbin, Director of Public Health for Nottinghamshire said: “We recognise the sacrifices Nottinghamshire residents have made throughout a very difficult year to help drive down the rate of infection across the county and I appreciate that the continuation of Tier 3 measures will be a disappointment to many who were hoping for an easing of the restrictions.
“I would like to thank those who have stuck to the very difficult restrictions placed on them. Their diligence and perseverance have helped reduce rates which has kept more people safe from COVID-19. However, the rate of infection remains a concern, especially among people over 60, and our hospitals are still experiencing high levels of admissions of people very poorly with COVID-19.
“To help save lives and protect the NHS and our social care services we must continue to observe the restrictions that apply. The roll out of the vaccine to the most vulnerable groups is of course very positive news but it will be some time to come before until we know how much it will impact infection rates more generally. Therefore, it is essential that you protect yourself and everyone around you is to stick to the Hands, Face, Space principles.
As a reminder, Tier 3 restrictions mean you must avoid mixing indoors with any other households and the rule of six applies in public outdoor settings. Full details on the measure are available at: https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/care/coronavirus/covid19-tier-3-restrictions-for-nottinghamshire
