Last Thursday, the government announced a further extension (with some changes to guidance/ rules) to the Covid-19 lockdown in Oadby and Wigston, as well as Leicester.
Full details are on the Borough Council’s web site. A revised map of the lockdown area is shown below.
The Covid-19 lockdown has been extended for the City of Leicester and some adjoining areas of Leicestershire, including the whole of the Boruogh of Oadby and Wigston (Oadby, Wigston and South Wigston).
The City of Leicester has seen a rise in Covid-19 cases in June 2020, so the government in Westminster announced on Monday 29th June that an extended lockdown would happen to try and control the spread of the virus.
The government say that the lockdown is due to be reviewed on 18th July.
The map below shows the boundary of the lockdown zone. A postcode checker is available to see if you are inside the boundary. This zone includes Leicester City, Braunstone Town (including Fosse Park), Glenfield, Glen Parva, Leicester Forest East (east of the M1), Thorpe Astley, Birstall, Thurmaston and all areas of Oadby and Wigston.
Local councils are waiting on extra detail about lockdown measures from the government and how it will be enforced.
Based on announcements so far, Oadby and Wigston Borough Council have the latest information on their Covid-19 page.
