Given the complexity and misunderstandings that can exist in relation to the current COVID restrictions we have found a series of useful guides in relation to specific subjects. Here we look at guidance available in relation to which tier you are in; what can, and can’t be done in each tier; guidance for travel and exercise and guidance for businesses.
WHICH TIER ARE YOU IN?
- If you are unsure as to what the restrictions are in your area, Sky News has a postcode checker which allows you to find out which tier you are in. This is updated regularly.
- The Government website has a section ‘What local COVID alert levels mean‘ which explains the restrictions in each tier.
