After cases rose by 30 yesterday in Welwyn Hatfield, the leader of the borough council has said it was not entirely unexpected that we would move to Tier 3.
Cllr Tony Kingsbury, leader of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, said: “This move into Tier 3 is not entirely unexpected, given what we have seen in other parts of the county, but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing. The impact will be felt by all of us, our friends and families, and businesses throughout the borough.
“That said, we have seen other parts of the country moving down from Tier 3 to Tier 2, and that gives us an incentive to do everything we can to stop the spread of this devastating virus.
