Lincolnshire’s cases up to November 15.
Two of Lincolnshire’s hospitals are currently in the middle of a “critical incident” due to “critically low staffing levels,” so they’re struggling to meet rising numbers of COVID-positive patients.
Nationally, cases increased to 1,369,318, while deaths rose to 51,934.
The weekend also saw Prime Minister Boris Johnson self-isolate after being in contact with an MP who later tested positive for coronavirus.

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
