The country has been plunged into the third national lockdown in the space of just 10 months, as the number of Covid-19 cases continues to rocket – leaving the NHS under huge strain.
We are all advised to stay at home, and to work from home if it is possible to do so.
But members of the public are still entitled to leave their house for exercise once per day – and unlike the March lockdown – you can exercise with another person from one other household in your local area.
Playgrounds also remain open to the public – unlike the first national lockdown.
Full details of the rules can be viewed here.
And scroll through the list to see what you are still entitled to do, while sticking to the Government restrictions that are in place during this third national lockdown.
In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a subscription or buying a paper. We stand together. Nancy Fielder, editor.
