- If you are going to places that are “COVID-secure” like restaurants, pubs and businesses your group can’t be more than 6 people.
- If you’re not exempt, wear a face mask indoors in places where social distancing is difficult like shops, public transport, cinemas and museums. You can take them off when eating and drinking.
- You should continue to keep a 2-metre distance between others.
