Roadmap out of lockdown Step 3 - May 17
The Government’s Roadmap out of Lockdown will see more restrictions lift from May 17th. The new national measures mean:
** Up to 6 people or 2 households will be able to meet indoors and up to 30 people outdoors.
** Indoor hospitality reopens and indoor entertainment resumes including theatres, concert halls, bowling alleys, casinos, amusement arcades, museums and children’s indoor play areas with COVID-secure measures in place.
** Indoor and outdoor events, including live performances, sporting events and business events can take place with attendance capped according to venue type, and attendees should follow the COVID-secure measures set out by those venues.
**Organised indoor sport will be able to take place and all indoor gym classes can resume.
**Up to 30 people will now be able to attend commemorative events including weddings, receptions, wakes, as well as standalone life-cycle events. These can take place outdoors or at any indoor Covid secure venue that is permitted to open. Other significant life events, such as bar/bat mitzvahs and christenings, will also be able to take place with a limit of 30 people. Support groups and parent and child group (not including under 5s) are also limited to a gathering of 30 people.
**Care home residents receiving visitors will be allowed up to five named visitors (two at any one time), provided visitors test negative for COVID-19.
** All holiday accommodation will be open, including hotels and B&Bs. This can be used by groups of up to 6 or 2 households each household can include a support bubble, if eligible. There will no longer be a legal restriction or permitted reason required to travel internationally. However, there will be a traffic light system for international travel, and you must follow the rules when returning to England depending on whether you return from a red, amber or green list country.
** All higher education students will be able to access in-person teaching.
