The Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed that current COVID restrictions will end on the 2nd December, and will be replaced by the COVID-19 Winter Plan.
This means, on 2 December, across all of England:
• The stay at home requirement will end, with travel being permitted again subject to guidance in each tier. • Shops, personal care, gyms and the wider leisure sector will reopen. • Collective worship, weddings and outdoor sports can resume. • People will no longer be limited to seeing only one other person in outdoor public spaces - the rule of 6 will now apply outdoors as it did in the previous set of tiers.
As part of the COVID-19 Winter Plan England will move back into a regional, tiered approach – to target the toughest measures in the areas where we are seeing higher rates of infection. The Government will announce later this week how the tier system will be implemented across the UK, including which tier Swindon will fall into.
