Herefordshire Council has sent out a stark warning on social media this morning stating that it will not hesitate to impose further restrictions in Herefordshire if the number of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population continues to rise.

Infection rates remain below those seen in the majority of England but they are rising significantly week on week and the council is believed to be close to considering upping Herefordshire’s restriction level to Level 2 (High).
