This is what we can expect from the weekly coronavirus update for Lancashire this afternoon

An announcement from Lancashire Resilience Forum is due to take place at 1pm with updates on changes that might be made to local restrictions.

So what can we expect?

Local lockdown restrictions will be lifted in Burnley and Hyndburn from next Wednesday (September 2). But the county's public health experts have warned residents not to be complacent following central government's decision to lift restrictions.

It means Hyndburn and Burnley will now have all enhanced restrictions lifted to bring them in line with the rest of the country.

Lancashire's Director of Public Health Dr Sakthi Karunanithi said: "People living in Burnley and Hyndburn will be pleased that government has lifted the additional restrictions in their areas, but this should not lead to complacency.

"In both Burnley and Hyndburn infection rates are significantly above the national average with an increasing rate in Hyndburn. Coronavirus does not respect administrative boundaries and there is a high volume of social, educational and commuting travel between these areas and Lancashire's hotspots.

"The virus is very much still present in both Burnley and Hyndburn so residents must play their part to help protect themselves, their families and their communities."

What about Preston, Blackburn with Darwen and Pendle?

Elsewhere in the county, all existing restrictions will remain in force.

This means that in Preston and parts of Pendle, residents can't have visitors or visit others in their homes or gardens, or socialise with friends at indoor venues.

But they can continue to meet in groups of up to six in outdoor public areas.

Residents in other parts of Pendle and in the northern part of Blackburn with Darwen have additional restrictions which means they cannot socialise with anyone, anywhere indoors or outdoors.

Gary Hall, deputy chair of the Lancashire Resilience Forum which is leading the county's response to the coronavirus pandemic, said: "In most parts of Lancashire things are heading in the right direction, and I would like to thank everyone for playing their part. I understand how difficult it has been and appreciate the sacrifice people have made.

"If we continue on this path I am hopeful that all parts of Lancashire will have the remaining restrictions lifted soon, but this depends on people following the rules wherever they live in the county, and continuing to practice social distancing, washing hands regularly, wearing a face covering when they should and following the guidance given to them if contacted by NHS Test and Trace."
