The conditions that all must live their lives by during the pandemic is a source of never ending change. On Wednesday the 2nd of December the current lockdown restrictions that were passed by the house of commons on the 5th of November will cease.
While most will be thankful that this comes just before the festive season, it will of course just be the start of a new system the government is looking to put in place. A return to the tier system of before but with stricter rules for communities to follow.
The government has setup a website with "What you need to know" about local restriction tiers. There are general guidelines to follow for the whole country such as:
- - Wear a face covering in most indoor public settings
- - Avoid busy times and routes when traveling
- - Wash your hands regularly
- - Stay at least 2 meters apart from people you do not live with
The more specific conditions are broken down into a 3 tier system with Medium being the lowest, High and then Very High being the most severe. The exact guidelines for these are likely to change so watch our social media and the general news for any updates that arise.
Currently there is no available system outside of the Track and Trace government app that allows you to see the tier status of your area, but come December 2nd we expect the return of the postcode search which will include up to date guidelines.
Until this pandemic is over it is likely that restrictions will be in place on what we consider normal life, and Peter Martin will continue to operate in the safest way possible so in this uncertain time there is someone there when you need them.
