The Government has announced a new three-tier system which will be rolled out across England later this week.

The three-tiers include: Medium, High and Very High risk depending on the cases of Coronavirus in the area. As a result, it is vital that members keep up to date on the specific restrictions in their locality.

At the very least, members can expect the ‘rule of six’ and other social distancing measures to continue as they have in recent weeks. However, members should be ready to react quickly to possible changes which will include restrictions on households mixing.

  • Medium Tier: Continuation of ‘rule of six’ and social distancing
  • High Tier: Reduce household mixing with no mixing indoors, rule of six applies outside
  • Very High Tier: No mixing indoor and out, shut pubs and bars

Further individual restrictions are likely to be introduced for each local area.

The Almshouse Association will provide further in-depth guidance as it is released. If you need specific guidance on the restrictions in your area, please contact your local authority or visit GOV.UK.
