If a friend has forwarded this email to you, you can subscribe to email updates about Coronavirus for people who live and work in the Bradford district.
We realise that businesses will have concerns in relation to the Government’s latest changes to the restrictions and we are trying our best to work out what they mean for businesses in our district.
Based on the latest information from the Government there is no expected further easing of restrictions on businesses until at least 15 August.
Here is the latest information from the Government in relation to businesses:
If you live in one of the affected areas, in order to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, you should not:
- socialise with people you do not live with in other indoor public venues – such as pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops, places of worship, community centres, leisure and entertainment venues, or visitor attractions. You may attend these venues with people you live with (or are in a support bubble with), but should avoid interaction with others. If you run such a business, you should take steps to ensure people do not interact with people they do not live with, in line with COVID-19 secure guidance
- visit friends or family in care homes, other than in exceptional circumstances. Care homes should restrict visits to these circumstances
Business closures
All businesses and venues which were required to remain closed before 31 July in the Bradford district must continue to remain closed to members of the public.
From 1 August, in the Bradford district the following premises which were previously permitted to be open must now be closed by law:
- indoor gyms
- indoor fitness and dance studios
- indoor sports courts and facilities
- indoor swimming pools, including indoor facilities at water parks
Childcare businesses
Parents and carers can continue to use registered child care provision, including childminders. They can also continue to employ nannies (please see the Government guidance on working safely in other people’s homes.)
Can I still go to work in this area?
Yes. People living inside and outside of this area can continue to travel in and out for work. Workplaces must implement COVID-19 secure guidance.
Can people still come into my house if it’s part of their job?
Yes. People can still come inside your home when they’re doing so as part of their work, including cleaners, nannies, and repair workers. See guidance on working safely in other people’s homes.
Wedding Venues
Weddings and civil partnership ceremonies in these areas can still go ahead. No more than 30 people should attend a marriage or civil partnership, where this can be safely accommodated with social distancing in a COVID-19 secure venue. Further guidance can be found here.
Large wedding receptions or parties should not currently be taking place and any celebration after the ceremony should follow the broader social distancing guidance of involving no more than two households in any location or, if outdoors, up to 6 people from different households.
