Sheffield City Region Mayor Dan Jarvis said that he felt it was unlikely that Sheffield would move down a tier, with the infection rate still high in the city.
The average rate in Sheffield at the moment is 140.9 per 100,000 people (meaning there were 824 confirmed new cases in the week to 11).
This is up from 137.6 the week before.
And in some areas of Sheffield the infection rate is significantly higher than the city average.
These are the areas of Sheffield with the highest infection rates at the moment.
