Latest information on the coronavirus restrictions

The Government has announced a 4 week lockdown for England from Thursday 5 November 2020 until Wednesday 2 December 2020 and so the National Covid Tier system has been replaced by a National Lockdown.

You must not meet socially indoors with family or friends unless they are part of your household, meaning the people you live with - or support bubble.

This means you must not leave or be outside of your home except:

for childcare or education, where this is not provided online
for work purposes, where your place of work remains open and where you cannot work from home
to exercise outdoors or visit an outdoor public place, with the people you live with, with your support bubble or, when on your own, with 1 person from another household
for any medical concerns, reasons, appointments and emergencies, or to avoid or escape risk of injury or harm, such as domestic abuse
shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine to visit members of your support bubble or provide care for vulnerable people, or as a volunteer
