There have been 184 cases of coronavirus confirmed this week, with six deaths reported as well.
On Friday, there were 42 new cases of coronavirus and one COVID-19 related death confirmed in Greater Lincolnshire in the official statistics.
The UK’s coronavirus dashboard showed cases of COVID-19 in Lincolnshire increased by 31, another 17 in North Lincolnshire, and four in North East Lincolnshire.
It means there have been 76 new cases in the first two days of October.
There were 820 cases in September, a 400% increase on August numbers.
The government’s own death tally, which includes deaths outside hospitals, also revealed a further fatalities of a Lincolnshire resident.
However, NHS figures released earlier showed no new coronavirus-related deaths in the region’s hospitals.
Nationally, cases increased by 6,968 to 467,146 while deaths increased by 66 to 42,268.
Earlier today it was revealed organisers of the Lincoln Santa Fun Run had cancelled the event, replacing it with an online virtual race instead.
Police fined just one person in September — but said they preferred to engage and encourage people to follow the rules, using enforcement as a last resort.
