Leicester's local lockdown is not due to be reviewed until 18 July
The first city in the UK to be put in local lockdown will not receive special financial support from the government.
Businesses in Leicester had expected extra help after they were ordered to close on 30 June following a spike in Covid-19 cases.
But a letter from Business Minister Nadhim Zahawi said there were no plans to change or extend any current schemes.
Labour MP Liz Kendall said she was "so angry" at the development.
The shadow social care minister, who released a letter from Mr Zahawi about the government's stance, said it was "a warning for future local lockdowns".
"People in Leicester have made huge sacrifices and everybody is hanging on in there," she said.
"They've gone back, they have stayed at home, they've closed their doors.
"I think it is wrong the government isn't saying 'you're in lockdown for longer, you'll get the help for longer'."
Ms Kendall, the MP for Leicester West, urged Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Prime Minister Boris Johnson to "think again".

"We have already had to cancel the first week of our holiday scheme," he said.
"This has cost us in terms of wasted preparation and of course has a knock on effect in the community since children can't come here.
"And we have staff putting pressure on, saying they may have to look elsewhere for work, and this is trained staff who, if we lose them, will affect our ability to reopen at all," he said.
Charlotte Foy, landlady of the White Horse pub in Birstall, said she was worried people would not feel confident to go back out once the lockdown was lifted.
"It has affected us over this extended lockdown period but but it will very much have a detrimental effect on business going forward," she added.
Leicester Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby said he was "absolutely furious" the expected funds had not materialised and described the lack of extra measures as "brutal".
Last week, Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the BBC there would be extra financial support for Leicester businesses affected by the local lockdown.
"We have given support to both the county council and the city council to make sure they have discretionary funds available to support businesses, if that's what's needed," he said.
In his letter, Mr Zahawi claimed the city council had spent less than £500,000 of a £3.5m discretionary grant awarded to it.
He went on to write: "I hope the lockdown is temporary and that affected businesses in Leicester are able to re-open soon."
But Ms Kendall added: "I don't think you can tell people one thing one day and tell them something else the other. It is just not right."
The lockdown in Leicester will be reviewed on 18 July.
On Wednesday it was revealed a county-wide lockdown was considered.
County council leader Nick Rushton said that during discussions over where to put the edge of the lockdown zone "there was even an argument that the boundary could have included the whole of Leicestershire" but it would have "created even more angst".
Latest figures from University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust show 21 coronavirus deaths registered since 1 July - three times the number recorded in the week before.
"The circumstances of individual lockdowns will continue to be carefully assessed before appropriate action is taken," a government spokesman said.
