British Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced Monday the British city of Leicester will remain locked down because of COVID-19 as towns and cities around the country start to re-open. Non-essential shops have been ordered to close from Tuesday, schools that have only just reopened will have to close Thursday, and 330,000 citizens have been told by Hancock to remain indoors as much as possible because of the continuing high number of coronavirus cases.
