Three other regions of England are in talks about entering Tier 3 - Nottinghamshire, West Yorkshire, and the North East - including both Tyneside and the Tees Valley.
Talks with the North East were "paused" earlier this week but last night the Department of Health said they were back on.
Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick is understood to have written to local leaders in the North East last night, although no formal fresh talks have yet been held.
Meanwhile all or part of Nottinghamshire could enter Tier 3 lockdown within days as talks ramp up between local leaders and the government.
Health Minister Nadine Dorries held talks with MPs this morning and a further meeting is due with council leaders this afternoon.
Yesterday Whiston Hospital, which is in between Warrington and Liverpool, warned that the coronavirus situation is worse than it was in April.
Health workers battling the second wave of coronavirus at the hospital said they were 'exhausted' and 'run down'.
They also revealed they were disheartened to see people ignoring restrictions.

thedailymirror--2020-10-23--Andre Schurrle opens up on how "brutal" Jose Mourinho destroyed his confidence

Ex-Chelsea midfielder Andre Schurrle has lifted the lid on his difficult personal spell while playing under Jose Mourinho at the club .

`` He 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

`` Back then , it was extremely difficult .
I would often drive home after conversations with him and just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
What could I do ?
He was building up such extreme pressure . ''
Schurrle added that the fact he was often substituted left his self-esteem in tatters , and had the feeling that Mourinho was purposefully victimising him .

Mum's pain as 'healthy' daughter falls ill on 21st birthday - and dies just weeks later
A devastated mother has paid tribute to her "healthy" daughter who fell ill on her 21st birthday with a condition that baffled doctors before dying just weeks later.
Leah Hynes was taken to hospital with a suspected chest infection after becoming poorly on her birthday at the end of August.
She developed a severe cough and temperature while travelling home with her mother after going out for a celebratory meal.
Initially thinking she was suffering with a chest infection, doctors decided to keep Leah, from Bury, Greater Manchester, in hospital for further checks.
But in a tragic turn of events, she sustained severe brain damage and fell into a deep state of unconsciousness when her heart stopped beating less than a week later, the Manchester Evening News reports.

"Happy" and "bubbly" Leah was placed on life support but never woke up.
Doctors, who were unable to find the cause behind Leah's illness, decided to switch off her ventilator as she showed no signs of improvement.
Sadly, she died on October 22.
Her inconsolable mother Susan McDonald described the moment doctors told her the words every parent dreads.
“It’s heartbreaking,” the 43-year-old said.
“She’s my all. I’m feeling a whole load of nothing.
“The MRI scan on her brain showed no activity and there was severe brain damage to both sides of her brain.

“At 8pm, a few days later, on October 6 he phoned me from the ward saying please can you come in now.
“We were sat in the relatives' room at the hospital and the consultant came in and said that Leah had got up from a chair and slumped to the floor and her heart stopped.
“I fell to pieces.”
Mrs McDonald, from nearby Radcliffe, said Leah suffered severe brain damage as a result.
“I used to spend all week looking forward to Friday or Saturday when she would come home,” she continued.

Brian told the Express: “I think it’s possible that I had the COVID virus early on in the tour of Korea, Japan and Australia in January, and got through it, but it’s thickened the blood, which apparently it does, and that could have been the trigger that gave me the heart attack."
“I thought it was too early to get [COVID] but the evidence now seems to be that the virus was around.”
The star also pointed out that he seldom drinks or eats fatty food, so that was not linked to his heart attack.

Following his heart attack, Brian had three stent tubes fitted into his arteries to help his blood flow.
The Queen star went on to praise Anita for helping him get back into a healthy routine as he recovered.
"She was incredible. She totally saved my life because I couldn't do anything and she just kind of nursed me, so I will forever be in her debt. She did an incredible job on me."
Brian, who has been married to former EastEnders actress Anita for 20 years, was reeling from an unrelated gardening accident when he suffered the heart attack in Spring.

Despite the incident, Brian has since promised fans that he's ready to return to making music.
"I’ve walked out with a heart that’s very strong – I feel I’m in good shape for years to come,” he said following his heart attack.
As well a praising medics, he added: "Anyway, I didn’t die. I’m incredibly grateful that I now have a life to lead again. I’m good, I’m here, and I’m ready to rock.”

On the contrary , other parts of the city have seen a steady rise in Covid-19 infections , Sky News found .
Andy Burnham cited falling coronavirus rates last week as he resisted the imposition of Tier 3 lockdown rules .

The Greater Manchester Mayor criticised ministers for failing to provide the minimum sum of £65million needed to avoid a `` winter of real hardship '' under Tier 3 restrictions , which would plunge the poorest into poverty and homelessness .

thedailymirror--2020-10-23--Robshaw sorry as England cancellation costs cash-strapped RFU £1 million payday

Chris Robshaw last night said sorry for his part in the Covid breach which has forced the cancellation of tomorrow ’ s England-Barbarians clash .
The former Red Rose captain was one of 12 Barbarians players to provoke fury at the Rugby Football Union with actions which rob the cash-strapped governing body of a vital pay day .
The RFU , faced with a £60 million ‘ pandemic ’ black hole which has already brought mass job cuts at Twickenham , could ill-afford to lose a further £1 million in television and sponsorship revenue .
Yet they were left with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after a dozen Covidiots dined out at a London restaurant - one of two separate breaches in which players left the Barbarians bubble without permission .
Robshaw expressed his “ deepest apologies ” to the Baa-Baas , Eddie Jones ’ England and the entire “ rugby family ” for letting them down .
He added : ” A huge effort went into conducting this match in a safe fashion and it was irresponsible of me to break the protocols which are put in place to protect players , staff and the public .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ultimately contributed to the cancellation of Sunday 's match and I am sincerely remorseful for my role in undoing all the amazing work that went into trying to make it happen .
`` I promise that I will learn from this mistake and ensure something like this never happens again . ''
Saracens ’ trio Richard Wigglesworth , Jackson Wray and Joel Kpoku also issued heartfelt apologies , with their club venting “ extreme ” displeasure at their players involved .
Tomorrow ’ s game should have been England ’ s first for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of next week ’ s Six Nations decider with Italy in Rome .
Even allowing for diplomatic language , RFU boss Bill Sweeney ’ s anger at the catastrophic chain of events was plain .
He raged : ” We are incredibly disappointed to be calling a halt to this fixture , we know how much the fans were looking forward to seeing the teams play .
“ However our priority is to protect the health and safety of the England squad and the other international teams they will go up against this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great deal of effort put into Covid codes of conduct and planning for games , including cooperation with Premiership clubs to release additional players to fulfil the fixture safely .
“ We are all incredibly frustrated and disappointed that the actions of a number of Barbarians players mean we no longer feel it is safe for the game to go ahead.
” This is unlikely to be the end of the matter as the RFU 's investigation is “ ongoing ” and the miscreants face a possible disrepute charge .

RFU launches investigation into TWO Covid breaches by Barbarians players which causes plug to be pulled on England's eagerly-awaited return to action

thedailymirror--2020-10-23--Nurse who survived brain aneurysm and kidney transplant dies from coronavirus

A mum who survived a kidney transplant and brain aneurysm has died from coronavirus .
Emma Vianzon , 57 , made a remarkable recovery to good health in the last three years , which was helped by seeing her three daughters find love .
With two grandchildren and hope that her middle daughter would soon marry , nurse Emma faced the Covid crisis stoically .
And when two loved ones returned positive tests , she made sure they got the care they needed .
But Emma from Finaghy , Co Antrim , had become infected too and within three weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ daughter , Deni , 28 , told Belfast Live : “ Mum started feeling sick around the beginning of October but she stayed home and said she ’ d see it out .
“ When her partner became sick with Covid , they both tried to get better at home .
But in the end an ambulance had to be called and mum insisted her partner went in it and she stayed home .
“ At that stage she hadn ’ t told me she ’ d had a positive test for Coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taking it easy .
“ But the next day she was admitted to hospital .
She did her best to stay out of intensive care and she told me if she went to ICU she knew she wouldn ’ t return to us .
“ In a way I could n't believe it .
She ’ d faced death twice already , she was so full of life and spirit that it seems unreal that she could possibly die .
When she suffered a brain aneurysm she ’ d faced death and she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We were told at the time her chances of survival were then 50/50 and if she was in the 50 % who survived , her chances of a full recovery were just 10 % .
“ It was scary but she came back to us , fully recovered and bounced back to her old self , back to work , smiling and happy and she even went on to learn to drive and pass her test .
“ But then her kidneys failed and she was on dialysis for nearly three years.. but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gruelling for her but she never complained even though she was on dialysis every other day .

Emma Vianzon, 57, made a remarkable recovery to good health in three years, but when two loved ones returned positive coronavirus tests, Emma become infected and died three weeks later
A mum who survived a kidney transplant and brain aneurysm has died from coronavirus.
Emma Vianzon, 57, made a remarkable recovery to good health in the last three years, which was helped by seeing her three daughters find love.
With two grandchildren and hope that her middle daughter would soon marry, nurse Emma faced the Covid crisis stoically.
And when two loved ones returned positive tests, she made sure they got the care they needed.
But Emma from Finaghy, Co Antrim, had become infected too and within three weeks she died from coronavirus.
Her middle daughter, Deni, 28, told Belfast Live : “Mum started feeling sick around the beginning of October but she stayed home and said she’d see it out.
“When her partner became sick with Covid, they both tried to get better at home. But in the end an ambulance had to be called and mum insisted her partner went in it and she stayed home.
“At that stage she hadn’t told me she’d had a positive test for Coronavirus and said she was fine, just taking it easy.
“But the next day she was admitted to hospital. She did her best to stay out of intensive care and she told me if she went to ICU she knew she wouldn’t return to us.
“In a way I couldn't believe it. She’d faced death twice already, she was so full of life and spirit that it seems unreal that she could possibly die. When she suffered a brain aneurysm she’d faced death and she fought back and recovered fully.
“We were told at the time her chances of survival were then 50/50 and if she was in the 50% who survived, her chances of a full recovery were just 10%.
“It was scary but she came back to us, fully recovered and bounced back to her old self, back to work, smiling and happy and she even went on to learn to drive and pass her test.
“But then her kidneys failed and she was on dialysis for nearly three years.. but she conquered that too. It was gruelling for her but she never complained even though she was on dialysis every other day.
“Then in July she got the amazing news that a suitable donor match had been found for her and she underwent a kidney transplant.
“So there was another fight ahead of her. The major surgery left her weak but determined to get back on her feet and her positive mental attitude and faith kept her going.
“While she was recovering from the transplant, she started making food and delivering it to friends and neighbours. Mum was a nurse and carer from the moment she appeared on this earth. The only stipulation for her funeral that she made in her will was to be buried in her uniform. Sadly we can't even find a picture of mum in her uniform so we hope some of her friends will send us one.
“Mum's profession was not a choice, she was born a nurse and died a proud and dedicated nurse. That was her purpose on earth.. to care for people, inside or outside of the hospital, in her uniform or not.
“She just loved to look after everyone and she loved to give people gifts, it made her feel good to see them smile.
“She wanted to get back to that, and although we told her not to worry, she knew if she ended up in ICU she would die. That was the last conversation I had with her.”
Sadly Emma did have to be taken into ICU and she was nursed by some of her best friends.
Deni said: “She was so well looked after. I thought, hoped she’d be OK. She couldn’t have been any better looked after and loved. I pushed the thoughts of her kidney transplant and brain aneurysm to the back of my mind and did what she’d taught us to do, kept positive.
“We were told she had a 10% chance of survival from Covid but even then we had hope because that was more than she’d had when she got sick the first time. We clung on, she fought hard and the nurses looking after her just kept going.
“Like other families we couldn’t see her or visit, we were able to communicate for a while on line but then she was in ICU and that had to stop.
“And in the end on Tuesday her poor body finally gave up and she slipped away. Mum was just 57.
“She did her very best not to go there, but she had no choice and now she’s gone.”
Deni, 28 and her sisters Julie, 32 and Centinia, 22 are now left to deal with life without Emma.
Her funeral service on Saturday, will be restricted by Covid rules, and life ahead for the women will be changed forever.
Their mum moved from Bataan in the northern region of Luzon in the Philippines to Northern Ireland in 2002 and found work in her nursing profession at a care home in Antrim.
After a year of saving money she brought her three daughters to Northern Ireland to live and they have each carved out successful careers, Julie and Deni in finance and Centinia as a make-up artist.
Emma’s career took her to Belfast City Hospital, then Musgrave Park Hospital and most recently the Brooklands nursing home in Antrim.
Deni said: “Mum had many roles but her most cherished were as a mother and a nurse. She packed so much love into this world - my sisters Julie and Centinia and I are shocked and devastated that she’s gone.”
Deni who lives in London had told her mum she planned to quit her job and come home a few months ago.
But in the Summer, Emma forbade her to do it and asked Deni to live her life, build her career in London and marry the man of her dreams.
Deni said: “She never interfered in my private life but in the summer she said she wanted to see me married and she told me then, ‘I haven’t got long in this world’.
“I’m struggling now with guilt and regret that I didn’t come home and spend more time with Mum.
“I never asked her what she meant and brushed it off. But now I think maybe deep inside she just knew somehow that the end of her life was close.
“Mum was all about living and life but she had such a deep faith I don’t think she was afraid of dying.”
Deni and her sisters will say a final good-bye to their mother on Saturday but they know she would want her final resting place to be in her native Philippines.
Deni said: “She is missed there too. Our mum was physically small, less than five feet tall but she was a huge personality.
“She blessed every room she entered with her grace, presence and glowing smile - dimples included and she made friends with everyone.. literally everyone she met.
“Despite all the challenges she was faced with, she made sure she showed composure, faith, hope and strength to those around her and she has left us with strong foundations that we’ll have to rely on now.
“We know from her friends who nursed her at the end that she fought hard right to the last moment but sadly this pandemic is too savage, too fast. God called and wanted his angel back.

“I know the devastation will rise in me again, but for now I know we need to find a way to get mum’s ashes to the place of her birth in the Philippines so her family there can mourn her - and help us learn to live without her.
“We have set up a page with GoFundMe and we have been overwhelmed with the generous contributions. Every ounce of support is greatly and truly appreciated. I feel that all that love mum gave to so many is surrounding us now. Maybe that’s what it was all about.”
