Liverpool mayor would back Covid tier 4 in England - BBC News
Liverpool's city mayor has said he would support more robust Covid-19 restrictions if it meant halting the spread of the virus.
Joe Anderson, whose brother Bill was one of 61 people to die with the virus in the city in one week, said he would "back tougher measures if necessary".
He wants to monitor the impact of tier three over the next two weeks before considering a possible tier four.
He told BBC Breakfast his brother died of a virus that "takes no prisoners".
The Labour mayor said the virus has had "an enormous impact" on families and businesses in Liverpool.
"It has taken untold damage on people's wellbeing and a huge toll on families where people have died. If anything was required to bring it down faster I would do that," Mr Anderson said.
"However, I want to make sure that we are giving tier three a chance to see if the measures have an impact."
He said he would review the results in 14 to 16 days' time.
