Social distancing guidelines

People can now meet up with a maximum of six people from different households as long as they remain outside, according to new medical guidance.

The government have encouraged people to keep a two metre distance from anyone not in their own household while continuing to practice good hygiene.

People who live in a single adult household are also now allowed to form a ‘social bubble’ with one other household – this means they can enter each others homes without social distancing.
