Nottinghamshire has been placed in the new “high alert” category for Covid-19 restrictions, Boris Johnson announced today.
Under the new rules, classified as ‘level two’ of a three-level system, domestic mixing has been banned indoors throughout the county in an attempt to curb rising infection rates.
The new tier system has been introduced as a way to “simplify” lockdown restrictions across the country.
As such, the areas have been classified into three categories – medium, high and very high alert – which determine the local measures implemented in that area.
And Nottinghamshire has been placed in the second tier category, with the prime minister citing “rising infection rates” as the reason for imposing strict measures on the county.
This is for areas with a higher level of infections where there are some additional restrictions.
Here is the full list of level two restrictions:
- You should not socialize with anyone outside your home or support the bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place.
- You should not socialize in a group of more than 6 outdoors, including in a garden or other spaces such as beaches or parks (except where specific exemptions apply by law)
- Businesses and places can continue to operate, safely with COVID, except those that remain closed by law.
- Certain businesses must ensure that customers only consume food and beverages while seated, and must close between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
- Businesses and places that sell food for off-site consumption can continue to do so after 10pm, as long as it is through the delivery, click-and-collect or drive-through service.
- Schools, universities and places of worship remain open
- Weddings and funerals may continue with restrictions on the number of attendees.
- Exercise classes and organized sports can continue to take place outdoors. These will only be allowed indoors if it is possible for people to avoid mixing with people they do not live with or do not share a bubble of support with, or for youth or disabled sports.
- You can continue to travel to places or services that are open, for work or to access education, but you should seek to reduce the amount of travel you take when possible
