<p>This week, the government announced more Covid-19 restrictions including raising Manchester to tier 3 on the coronavirus alert scale. The government&#8217;s new localised lockdown system and scale was first put into play mid-October by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.</p>
<p>As the announcements were made, the public grew enraged and waited for the opportunity to be heard.</p>

<p>According to CityAM, London would need £440m every month if it were to go into tier 3 lockdown restrictions on the basis that Sadiq Khan made the same funding request as Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham.</p>
<p>Burnham originally requested £100m for his city, and turned down the government&#8217;s £60m offer for extra funding during the tier 3 restrictions &#8211; Boris Johnson still imposed the restrictions regardless.</p>
<p>The back-and-forth exchanges had many wondering what conflict Sadiq Khan would have with government in requesting funding should London go into tier 3.</p>
<p>The Centre for Cities said if Khan were to ask for the same as Burnham &#8211; enough so furloughed workers get 80% of their pay &#8211; it would cost government up to half a billion pounds.</p>
<p>The Centre for Cities’ senior analyst Elena Magrini said: “On support for workers in tier 3 cities specifically, we endorse proposals for an 80 per cent furlough scheme.</p>
<p>“It would make a large difference for many lower income workers who could be left in financial difficulties as a result of these new restrictions and may help lessen the long-term damage done to London’s economy.”</p>
<p>The scale is much larger when talking about the capital, but as it stands London is still well below Manchester in terms of alert levels.</p>
