The Department of Health and Social Care on Sunday stopped short of saying a local lockdown was likely for Leicester, but acknowledged the city was an area of concern as it urged residents in the city to be vigilant against the virus.
A man is handed a Covid-19 test in his car at a testing centre in Leicester City’s King Power Stadium ‘We are supporting the council and local partners in Leicester to help prevent further transmission of the virus,’ the spokesman said in a statement. ‘We have deployed four mobile testing sites and made thousands of home testing kits available, to ensure anyone in the area who needs a test can get one.
‘NHS Test and Trace will contact anyone testing positive to help them identify their recent contacts and advise who may have been near to someone with the virus to stay at home to prevent the spread.
