Health Secretary Matt Hancock has announced allocations to England's revised local lockdown system, which will come into effect from Wednesday 2 December.
The revisions to the system compared to before national lockdown measures were implemented for the second time mean that more areas are in the highest two tiers of the system. The system has three tiers - medium (1), high (2) and very high (3) - referring to the perceived Coronavirus risk in each area.
The allocations are to be reviewed every two weeks. Click through the tabs below to learn more about the restrictions, or scroll down to find out which tier your local area has been allocated to.
