Covid-19 – Existing Measures

Covid-19 – Existing Measures

On 22 September, the government announced new measures to suppress the virus. Some of these new restrictions will be set out in the law and guidance. The police and other enforcement officers are able to issue penalties to those that don’t comply with law.

It is critical that everybody observes the following key behaviours:

• HANDS – Wash your hands regularly and for at least 20 seconds.
• FACE – Cover your face in enclosed spaces, especially where social distancing may be difficult and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet.
• SPACE – Stay 2 metres apart where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place.

Detailed guidance on the new rules on how to meet people safely, including the changes to gatherings rules, can be found here.
