That is the impassioned plea from the chief executive of Leeds City Council, almost one week after tighter restrictions were imposed on residents.

Council chiefs say that if people can keep their distance and respond to the local lockdown, then we can all play a part to help avoid a national lockdown.

And the key to this is everyone working together for the greater good - our health and safety.

They are calling on people not to give up.

We can all make a difference to protect ourselves, our families, friends and complete strangers.

Leeds prides itself on being a compassionate city.

And that is why we need to continue to join forces in the face of the pandemic.
