Cllr Alan White

The comments come from Staffordshire County Council’s leader after the Government unveiled a new three tier system of COVID-19 measures.

Staffordshire is currently in the medium tier, meaning it has avoided some of the tighter restrictions seen in areas such as Liverpool.

But after [warnings about rising infection rates across Lichfield and Burntwood](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/council-leader-urges-people-in-lichfield-and-burntwood-to-redouble-their-efforts-to-halt-rise-in-local-coronavirus-cases/), Cllr Alan White said people could not afford to become complacent.

> “COVID-19 is tightening its grip everywhere, including in Staffordshire where cases are rising fast in parts of the county.  
>  
> “We have worked hard to protect the vulnerable and we continue to act swiftly to contain outbreaks to help reduce the risk to both lives and livelihoods.  
>  
> “But the situation in Liverpool is a stark reminder of what could happen here if we don’t act now, so we are asking people of all ages to redouble their efforts to help keep Staffordshire safe.  
>  
> “Complacency is COVID-19’s biggest friend and the consequences of not sticking to the rules are now in our own hands.”
