In a move to slow the current rates of infection across our county, from Saturday, Essex will be placed into the high level of restrictions (tier 2 on the new COVID system).
What does this mean?
- No household mixing indoors – this includes at home or in hospitality venues
- Different households can meet outdoors in public spaces but must stick to the ‘Rule of six’
- 10pm curfews will remain in place for all pubs and restaurants
- Remember hands, face and space
- Reduce travel where you can
If we act now, we can stop the spread and protect our loved ones as we head into the winter months.
Protect each other
There are 3 simple actions we must all do to keep on protecting each other:
- wash hands – keep washing your hands regularly
- cover face – wear a face covering in enclosed spaces
- make space – stay at least 2 metres apart, or 1 metre with a face covering or other precaution
