MELKSHAM IS NOW TIER 2

What does that mean?

In tier two you can’t socialise with other households indoors.

You can meet in a group of up to six outside – including in a garden, or a public place.

Shops, gyms and personal care services (such as hairdressing) can reopen (if Covid-secure).

Pubs and bars can only open if they serve substantial meals. Alcohol can be served with that meal.

Sports can resume with up to 2,000 spectators, or 50% capacity (whichever is smaller).

Collective worship, weddings and outdoor sports can resume (with restrictions).

Non-essential foreign travel allowed, subject to quarantine rules.

Between 23 and 27 December, the three households in a “Christmas bubble” can mix indoors and stay overnight.
