North Kesteven District Council has also said people should not swim or walk their dogs near Millennium Lake in North Hykeham.

David Steels, the council's head of environment and public protection, said: “It’s vital you don’t enter the water at all, as types of algae can be toxic and make you and any pets who have contact with the water or the shoreline very ill."

At a press conference, Boris Johnson said the government needed to take "swift, decisive action", and would "squeeze the break pedal" on reopening society.

Changes to wedding celebrations will also be postponed, he added.

The PM says people in England would also be encouraged to wear face coverings in new settings - such as museums - from 8 August.

The prime minister said planned reopenings for 1 August will be postponed for a fortnight.

At a national press conference Boris Johnson said: "With those numbers creeping up, our assessment is that we should squeeze that brake pedal... in order to keep the virus under control.

"That means until August 15 at the earliest casinos, bowling alleys, skating rinks and the remaining close-contact services must remain closed.

"Indoor performances will not resume, pilots of larger gatherings in sports venues and conference centres will not take place, and wedding receptions of up to 30 people will not be permitted."

Boris Johnson said: "I know that the steps we are taking will be a real blow to many people, to everyone whose wedding plans have been disrupted or who cannot now celebrate Eid in the way that they would wish. And I'm really, really sorry about that but we cannot simply take the risk."

Lincoln's newest cinema will open next month, it's been confirmed.

The Everyman Cinema will open on 21 August in the redeveloped Cornhill quarter of the city.

The opening has been repeatedly pushed back because of a lack of big films being released.

Manager Carl Frith said: “It’s been a case of waiting to see which films are going to be released in the current climate.

"It’s difficult with studios pushing their films back, but we’ve had confirmation of the film Tenet being released and we’ve just been getting everything ready to open.

“We’ve needed someone to take that leap to release the next film after lockdown and this is a massive chance for us to get people in to the cinema and show them something new.

“The experience is not going to be that different. Obviously, social distancing in the screens will mean it might feel a little emptier than if it was sold out, but all social distancing guidelines are in place.”

Landlords of houses of multiple occupation in North East Lincolnshire have been given guidance on how to prevent coronavirus outbreaks in their properties.

The guidance has been compiled by North East Lincolnshire's public health team and explains what landlords, letting agents and property managers should do if they suspect a tenant has the virus.

It includes things such as arranging for shared spaces like kitchens, bathrooms and corridors to be cleaned regularly and making information and advice available to tenants.

It also sets out how they can reduce the risk of the virus being spread within a property.

North East Lincolnshire has seen among the lowest confirmed cases of the virus in the country.

Councillor John Fenty said: “It’s quite simple – we have had some of the lowest numbers of cases of the virus in our area and we want to keep it that way.

“To do that, everyone needs to do their bit. That includes landlords. If you own a house of multiple occupancy in our area, you have a responsibility to help reduce the risk to your tenants, and help manage any potential outbreak."
