COVID-19
CURRENT RESTRICTIONS (Before 19th July 2021)
Meeting family and friends outdoors
Restrictions on meeting people outdoors have been lifted, but gatherings must not exceed 30 people. Golden rules of self distancing, face masks and hand cleaning continue to apply.
Meeting friends and family indoors (rule of 6)
You can meet up indoors with friends and family you do not live with, either:
- in a group of up to 6 from any number of households (children of all ages count towards the limit of 6)
- in a group of any size from up to two households (each household can include an existing support bubble, if eligible)
If you’re in a support bubble
If you are eligible to form a support bubble, you and your support bubble count as one household towards the limit of 2 households when meeting others indoors. This means, for example, that you and your support bubble can meet with another household, even if the total group size is more than 6 people.

You can meet in a group of 6 or a larger group of any size from up to 2 households (including their support bubbles) indoors in places such as:
- private homes
- retail

- indoor sports and leisure facilities, such as gyms, sports courts, and swimming pools
