Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton have all been placed under Tier 3 restrictions for when the national lockdown ends on December 2 and the same rules will apply across Staffordshire, where Lichfield, South Staffordshire, Stafford and Cannock Chase have also gone into the highest alert level.
The restrictions are due to start next Wednesday and are set to be reviewed on a regular basis, with the first review understood to be due on December 16.
Under Tier 3, household mixing in any settings, both indoors and outdoors, is banned, while pubs and restaurants must close except for takeaway.
All indoor entertainment venues must also close, and the ban on fans for sports events continues.
