Officials in Leeds have welcomed the move, telling residents to be sensible and adhere to the guidelines.
Victoria Eaton, director of public health in Leeds, said there was “very widespread community transmissions right across the city”, and the number of people following the self-isolation rules low.
She said: “The expectation is the restrictions will be in place for a longer period of time, potentially right through the winter.”
The latest seven-day COVID-19 rate in Leeds was found to be 98.5 per 100,000 people, with an 8.4 percent positive test rate.
