Footballer's tragic sudden death prompts hundreds of tributes from mourners

	Jan 5, 2021

	Good afternoon, After we all shared a collective sigh again last night, here we go again with Lockdown #3 Our teams shared the information via lep.co.uk as it happened and if you are still unclear on what the new restrictions entail we have an explanatory guide to what you can and can't do. Following the announcement there has been a great deal of reaction not least from the Lancashire business community with one organisation labelling it 'a complete body blow'. Meanwhile teachers, parents, children and university students are struggling to work out how to continue teaching and studies amid the pandemic. Later today the Prime Minister is holding a press conference (5pm) which will hopefully provide a forum to clear up further questions and provide additional information about support for those who need it, so keep an eye at lep.co.uk Meanwhile, we are all in it together so if you have any questions let us know. I hope today goes smoothly for you all, let's stick the rules and get rid of this awful virus once and for all. Kind regards, Nicola Deputy Editor Lancashire Post Twitter: @jabberingjourno Please subscribe to support sustainable local journalism in your community
