Alistair Hill, Director of Public Health, explains: “This shows what we can achieve when we pull together as a city.
“We are particularly pleased that the rate of infection among our most vulnerable 60+ age group has come down so much this past week.
“We’re leaving lockdown in a better place than when we started. I want to thank everyone for playing their part.
“Lockdown has shown us what we can achieve when we all pull together. Let’s keep it up and follow the Tier 2 rules. That way we can continue to drive down the rate of infection.
“This is especially relevant in the run-up to Hanukkah and Christmas.”
