In Tier 4, you cannot meet other people indoors unless you live with them or they are part of your existing support bubble. Outdoors, you can only meet one person from another household in a public place.

You must stay at home and only leave for a specific purpose or if you have a ‘reasonable excuse’. This includes going to work if it cannot be done from home, shopping for essentials such as food and medicine, attending education or training, using registered childcare, outdoor exercise and for medical reasons.

Non-essential retail must close, including clothing and homeware stores, betting shops, tailors, tobacco and vape shops, electronic goods and mobile phone shops.

However, these stores can continue to operate click-and-collect systems, if goods are pre-ordered and collected off the premises, and delivery services. Businesses such as hairdressers and gyms must also close.

You should not leave a Tier 4 area unless for permitted reasons, such as work, education, caring responsibilities, to visit a support bubble or for medical reasons, and someone from a Tier 1, 2 or 3 area should not enter a Tier 4 zone except for the same reasons.
