From Thursday 5 November, England will enter another lockdown period which will last until Wednesday 2 December.

The new measures are as follows:

You should only leave the house for these reasons:

• for education
• for work, if you cannot work from home
• for exercise and recreation outdoors
• for medical reasons
• to shop for food and essentials
• to care for others

You can only meet one person from outside your household outdoors.

There will be no mixing of people inside homes, except for childcare and other forms of support. Support bubbles will be allowed to continue.

All pubs and restaurants are to close, though takeaways and deliveries will be permitted.

All non-essential retail will close, though click and collect will still be available.

Travel within the UK is discouraged, except for work.

Overnight stays away from home will be allowed only for work purposes.

Courts, schools, and universities will remain open.

Private prayer will continue in places of worship, but not services.

If you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), ask for a test to check if you have the virus.

 

From Saturday 17 October, Croydon and Bromley are to be placed on Tier 2 (High Alert) covid-19 lockdown measures.

The rules for Tier 2 (High Alert) lockdown measures are as follows:

You may not meet in a group of more than six people, indoors or outdoors, unless you’re in a larger household or a support bubble.

You are not allowed to meet socially with people you do not live with indoors – this includes private homes, as well as pubs or restaurants.

You can still meet friends and family outdoors, but only in a group of up to six people.

People in support bubbles can go on meeting as before and informal childcare may also be provided.

Pubs, bars and restaurants must close by 10.00pm.

 

If you have symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), ask for a test to check if you have the virus.
