Claims North East Lincolnshire going into Tier 3 of Covid 19 restrictions are "almost inevitable".

It's claimed that it's 'almost inevitable' North East Lincolnshire will go into Tier 3 of restrictions after lockdown.

The Grimsby area has seen high rates of infection recently.

Last week we reported more than 2 thousand 4 hundred people have tested positive for covid-19 in the last 3 weeks in the region.

Now North East Lincolnshire's Director of Public Health says he feels 4 weeks of lockdown might not be enough to avoid Tier 3 in December.
