With financial aid, South Yorkshire now faces Tier 3 restrictions
Sheffield Mayor Dan Jarvis says they have secured £41 million of government funding

From midnight South Yorkshire joined Liverpool City Region, Greater Manchester and Lancashire at the highest Tier 3 alert level, banning the mixing of dwellings indoors and forcing many pubs and bars to close.
In a letter to residents, Sheffield City Mayor Dan Jarvis acknowledged that many people would find the stricter return rules "deeply frustrating" and fear for their future and livelihood.
But he added: "The scientific advice is that they can help. We still have a difficult road ahead of us, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel," he said.
"We have asked the government to offer a local blocking system for our local authorities and economy, and the new restrictions will be introduced along with resources, which means we are better equipped to control the virus and limit some of the damage to jobs and businesses¨, said Dan Jarvis.
