The British Army are being drafted in to help enforce coronavirus restrictions in Tier 3 areas as the UK continues to battle the second wave of the pandemic.
Five Army and Navy environmental health officers trained in 'outbreak management' were deployed in Liverpool on Friday.
They have been tasked with identifying clusters of local infections, helping control outbreaks and taking action against businesses failing to comply with the Covid-19 rules.
It is thought that further teams will be moved into other high-risk areas within the coming weeks.
The move comes after the UK recorded 23,012 new infections and 174 more deaths in the past 24 hours.
The military aid to civil authorities mechanism (MACA) allows the Government, along with local authorities, to formally request assistance from the Armed Forces.
Armed forces were carrying out 32 tasks under MACA on Friday, according to The Telegraph.
Lieutenant General Tyrone Urch, the UK's Standing Joint Commander, told the publication: 'We are all extremely proud to be able to support this national effort, and remain ready to respond to all requests for further support throughout the winter period.'
Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire, Lancashire and Liverpool City Region are the areas of the UK currently under Tier 3 restrictions.
