The Government has announced that Sheffield will come out of lockdown on Wednesday 2 December and enter into the tier 3 ‘Very High’ alert category, along with Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham.
Some tier 3 restrictions will be different this time compared to when Sheffield was in tier 3 before lockdown started on 5 November.
The tier 3 restrictions include:-
- People must not meet socially with friends and family indoors in any setting unless they are part of your household or support bubble*.
- People must not socialise in a group of more than 6 in an outdoor public space
- Hospitality venues will be closed, with the exception of take aways, click & collect, drive through and delivery services. Shops and retail outlets will be open.
Support bubbles have been expanded. From 2 December you can form a support bubble with another household if any of the following apply to you:
- you are the only adult in your household (any other members of the household having been under 18 on 12 June 2020) or are the only adult who does not have a disability that needs continuous care
- you have a child under 1
- you live with a child under 5 with a disability that needs continuous care
For full details of the restrictions see Sheffnews and GOV.UK .
The government will announce the arrangements that will be in place over the Christmas period shortly.
