CORONAVIRUS [COVID 19] UPDATE
Government to remove current regulations & restrictions from 19 July 2021 - Step 4
It is important to note the government mentioned that decisions made going forward will shift from being a state instructive to the responsibility of the individual themselves. This clearly means the onus is now back on individuals to make sensible decisions. Given the ongoing increase in daily cases there is no doubt the pandemic is far from over and while many rules have become personal decisions as opposed to legal requirements all the more reason a cautious approach is still recommended.
Lifting restrictions
Most legal restrictions to control COVID-19 will be lifted at step 4. This means that when step 4 takes place:
You will not need to stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with. There will also be no limits on the number of people you can meet.
However, in order to minimise risk at a time of high prevalence, you should limit the close contact you have with those you do not usually live with, and increase close contact gradually. This includes minimising the number, proximity and duration of social contacts.
The requirement to wear face coverings in law will be lifted. However, the Government expects and recommends that people wear face coverings in crowded areas such as public transport.
Anyone showing signs of a fever, dry cough or respiratory infection, flu like symptoms or a cold must NOT attend for 14 days.
Anyone that has travelled to and returned from any high risk country should not attend their appointment and need to reschedule for 14 days.
