Tier two (high) rules
- In tier two you can’t socialise indoors with anyone you do not live with, or who is not in your support bubble
- 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
