More Shops Open And Travel Restrictions Extended

Phase Two of the easing of Covid-19 restrictions come into force from today.

Shops will be allowed re-open from today - They will be required to have staggered opening hours, while none will be allowed open their doors until 10.30am, however those in shopping centres will have to wait a bit longer.

People's travel limits have been significantly extended. It's now possible to travel anywhere within your own county or up to 20km from home.

Groups of up to six can meet while social distancing, and visits are now possible to the homes of cocooners. Up to 25 friends and family will now be allowed attend funerals.
Working from home's still being advised where possible, and public transport should be only used if absolutely necessary.
