From today, the following activities are now permitted which were not between 23 March – 31 May:

- Spending time outdoors, including in private gardens and other outdoor spaces, in groups of up to six people from different households, following social distancing guidelines

- Visiting car showrooms and outdoor markets

- In line with the arrangements made by your school, sending your child to school or nursery if they are in early years, reception, year 1 or year 6, if you could not before

- If you are an elite athlete as defined by this guidance, training and competing using the specified gyms, pools and sports facilities you need - which will, in the coming weeks, we hope enable others to watch live sport on TV

Government guidelines to help stop the spread of the virus are:

Stay alert. This means you must:

- Stay at home as much as possible

- Work from home if you can

- Limit contact with other people

- Keep 2 metres apart where possible

Wash your hands regularly

Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.
