English Tiers and Travel Guidance

From 2nd December, England comes out of Lockdown 2.0. Guidance has been issued regarding travel restrictions.

See the full list of English regions by Tier Level. Please note that these new Tier levels will be reviewed after 14 days meaning that they will be in place until 16th December.

Read the statement that the Health Secretary made to parliament announcing the new regional Tier levels.

The UK Government has produced new posters for each of the three Tiers to reflect yesterday’s announcement regarding rule changes. These pdfs are an excellent way of informing both staff and customers on the rules and restrictions that are in operation in the areas that your member’s business is located.
