Coronavirus Information

The ‘Rule of Six’

Social gatherings of more than six people will be banned across England, Wales and Scotland next week as the government seeks to curb the rise in coronavirus cases.

The new rules will be implemented from Monday, 14th September and the change in the law is being introduced as the number of daily positive COVID-19 cases in the UK began to surge.

Guidance for people shielding

From 1 August, you will no longer be advised to shield unless the transmission of #COVID19 in the community starts to rise significantly.

If you can’t work from home, your employer should help you to get back to work safely, while maintaining social distancing in the workplace.

If you decide to continue shielding in August, you:
▶️can get help from NHS Volunteer Responders (they will continue to deliver food, prescriptions and essential items you buy)
▶️will still be eligible for priority supermarket slots
