By Police ‘will take action’ as region moves into Tier 2
In a statement issued last night, a spokesperson for Humberside Police said the force “will take action” as North and North East Lincolnshire head into Tier 2.
The Government has confirmed that the shift will occur at 12:01am on Saturday 31 October.
The new restrictions will mean permit people from socialises with anyone that is not part of their household or support bubble indoors.
Outside, the rule of six still applies.
Assistant Chief Constable Paul Anderson said:
“I know that some people may be feeling frustrated that the restrictions have been stepped up, but I would ask that everyone, once again, makes the right decisions and take the right actions for the greater good.
“In the Humberside area we have been able to avoid higher levels of restrictions for longer due to rates of infections being some of the lowest.
“I thank everyone who has played their part in this tremendous effort so far. However, we are now, once again, in a position where we need to take action to reverse the spread, protect the NHS and save lives.
“I would also remind everyone that following the tier 2 rules is the best way to ensure that we do not need to move into tier 3, where restrictions are far tighter and the impact on our lives, businesses and communities will be affected even further and for longer.
“My officers have worked with our communities throughout the pandemic, engaging with those not following the rules, explaining why this is important and encouraging them to follow them.
“The people of the Humber region have risen to the challenge. We will continue to use this policing approach, however, where individuals are persistently refusing to follow the rules, we will take action and we will issue fines.”
