The new regulations


From today, people in England can spend longer outdoors, visit garden centres and all those who cannot work from home are now encouraged to go back to work, as part of the first step in the Government’s Covid-19 recovery strategy.

  • Britain's success containing the virus so far has been hard fought and hard won. So it is for that reason that we must proceed with the utmost care in the next phase, and avoid undoing what we have achieved.
     
  • Anyone who cannot work from home, for instance those in construction or manufacturing, should go to work. The Government has provided employers with guidance on making workplaces safe. People can also now take unlimited exercise outside, sit in the park, drive to other destinations such as a national park, and meet one person from outside of their household if they are outdoors and maintain social distancing.
     
  • At all times we need people to stay alert, so that we can control the virus and save lives.
