Today marks the next stage in the government’s easing of lockdown rules, the most significant changes to date.
We have highlighted the major changes:
- Up to six people or two households can now meet indoors
- Up to thirty people can meet outdoors
- Overnight stays allowed at friends and family homes
- Care home residents can have up to five named visitors,and more freedom for visits out of the home
- Up to thirty people can attend support and parent-and-child groups (excluding children under five)
- Pubs and restaurants are now allowed to open their services indoors, for up to six people or two households per table
- Oversea’s flights are now allowed to all countries who are part of the “green list”
- Entertainment venues and stadiums will reopen
This is a big step in the right direction towards normality and it is positive news for us all.
However, the government’s message of HANDS – FACE – SPACE is still vitally important
We are encouraging people to continue to sanitise and wash hands regularly, use face coverings when indoors, and practice social distancing where possible.
