The new three-tier lockdown rules, which were announced by the Prime Minister on Monday, will be enforced from today due to the rising spread of coronavirus across the county.

Officers all around the country have been granted powers to enforce the new measures, which prevent different households from mixing with each other.

In Nottinghamshire, police have urged residents to report breaches of the enhanced Covid-19 rules by dialling the non-emergency number 101.

While, Derbyshire Constabulary told people to dial 999 in an emergency which is a threat to life and encouraged residents to report ‘serious’ breaches such as large gatherings with multiple households through a virtual questionnaire.

Officers in South Yorkshire, also set up an online form to help people report details of the breach on the force’s website.

South Yorkshire Police said: “The government has set out new regulations to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

“Additional powers have been granted to the police to enforce these rules.”
