Social distancing guidelines

The government have updated social distancing guidelines to enable people to meet up with a maximum of six people outside.

People are encouraged to maintain a two metre distance from anyone not in their own household and continue to practice good hygiene practices.

Those in a single adult household can now form a ‘social bubble’ with one other household – meaning they can enter each others homes without social distancing.
