New coronavirus tier arrangements for England set out by Matt Hancock
Devon has been placed in Tier 2 of the Government's new coronavirus restrictions. Here's what it means:
- No mixing of households indoors apart from support bubbles - rule of six outdoors
- Pubs and bars must close unless operating as restaurants, and hospitality venues can only serve alcohol with substantial meals
- Last orders at 10pm, close by 11pm
- Reduce the numbers of journeys made and avoid travel into Tier 3 areas
- Overnight stays permitted with your household or support bubble
- Accommodation open
- Places of worship open but people cannot interact with anyone outside their household or support bubble
- Weddings, civil partnerships and wakes can have 15 guests
- Funerals can have 30 guests
- Exercise classes and organised adult sport can take place outdoors, but not indoors if there is any interaction between different households
- Elite sporting events, live performances and large business events can take place with 50% capacity, or 2,000 people outdoors/1,000 indoors (whichever is lower) - social distancing applies
