Millions
of people across England will be banned from meeting friends and family inside
their household from Saturday. The regions have been told they will move to
stricter Tier 2 restrictions to try and stop the spread of coronavirus.
Following
areas will go into Tier 2 restrictions this weekend:
London
Essex
Elmbridge
in Surrey
Barrow
in Furness, Cumbria
York
North
East Derbyshire
Chesterfield
Erewash
and
Derbyshire
The infection rate in London has been steadily increasing for several weeks and in
the week to 9 October, it was 77.8 cases per 100,000 people.
#Pubs,
#restaurants and #cafes will be allowed to stay open, but the reduction in
group sizes will have a knock-on effect on the #hospitality sector. The 10 pm
curfew stuck the knife in, but there was a bit of hope when things were
returning to normality. UK Hospitality chief executive Kate Nicholls said the
new rules could “well be the death knell for many hospitality businesses. A
move into Tier 2 wipes a further 15 per cent off very low revenues, which are
currently at 20 to 30 per cent of normal levels in London. Many will not
recover if London moves into Tier 3 lockdown restrictions, which would force
pubs to close. Support measures urgently needed to avoid mass redundancies”.
The
measures will affect 3,640 pubs and 7,556 restaurants across London, Altus
said, according to official government data. Tougher Tier 2 restrictions will
put up to 250,000 jobs at risk in London's hospitality sector, according to the
industry's trade body. Many would rather be in a Tier 3 area, as at least if
they were required to close by law, they would be able to access grants and the
more generous furlough scheme.
Central
London will be particularly impacted by the lockdown as people reduce public
transport use. With no non-household mixing allowed indoors and a reduction in
journeys on public transport requested, Tier 2 will hit London’s hospitality
sector hard, particularly in its centre. Hospitality businesses are between the
rock and hard place. Their trade is impacted by the restrictions, yet there’s
not sufficient support available to help them to stay open.
Here is
the full list of tier two restrictions:
You must
not socialise with anybody outside of your household or support bubble in any
indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place.
You must
not socialise in a group of more than 6 outside, including in a garden or other
space like beaches or parks (other than where specific exemptions apply in
law).
Businesses
and venues can continue to operate, in a COVID-secure manner, other than those
that remain closed in law.
Certain
businesses are required to ensure customers only consume food and drink while
seated, and must close between 10 pm and 5 am.
Businesses
and venues selling food for consumption off the premises can continue to do so
after 10 pm as long as this is through delivery service, click-and-collect or
drive-through
Schools,
universities and places of worship remain open.
Weddings
and funerals can go ahead with restrictions on the number of attendees
Exercise
classes and organised sport can continue to take place outdoors. These will
only be permitted indoors if it is possible for people to avoid mixing with
people they do not live with or share a support bubble with, or for youth or
disability sport.
You can
continue to travel to venues or amenities that are open, for work or to access
education, but should look to reduce the number of journeys you make where
possible.
