What you can and can't do in Calderdale as Tier 2 restrictions come into force

The main difference with the previous local restrictions is that more than one household, up to the rule of six, can meet outdoors in private gardens and open spaces, as well as outside in hospitality, retail and leisure settings - keeping a distance of 2 metres apart.

However, more than one household must still not meet inside homes or indoors in hospitality, retail and leisure venues.

In addition to the national restrictions which apply to the whole country, in Calderdale the following Tier 2 restrictions also apply:

l People must not socialise with anybody outside of their household or support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place.

l People must not socialise in a group of more than six outside, including in a garden or other spaces like beaches or parks.

l Businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a Covid-secure manner, other than those which remain closed in law.

l Certain businesses selling food or drink on their premises are required to close between 10pm and 5am.

l Businesses and venues selling food for consumption off the premises can continue to do so after 10pm, as long as this is through delivery service, click-and-collect or drive-thru.

l Schools, universities and places of worship remain open.

l Weddings and funerals can go ahead with restrictions on the number of attendees.

l 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).

l People can continue to travel to venues or amenities which are open, for work or to access education, but should look to reduce the number of journeys they make where possible.

l Informal carers can provide care for children and vulnerable adults. Children under 14 can be cared for by people outside of their immediate household as part of a care bubble. Children’s groups and supervised activities in private homes are permitted, as is registered and wraparound childcare.
