Sussex will move to Tier 4 restrictions from Boxing Day
Due to very rapidly rising level of infections, Sussex, including Horsham District, will move to Tier 4 restrictions from 00:01 on Boxing Day 26 December.
This means that tighter restrictions will be in place to curb the rising levels of infections.
Tier 4: Stay at Home
These new restrictions mean:
- all non-essential shops, hair and beauty salons, indoor gyms and leisure facilities will close
- you must work from home if you can and only travel if absolutely necessary for work, education or essential reasons including to get food or attend a medical appointment
- you cannot mix indoors with anyone you do not live with (other than those in your support bubble)
- you can only meet with one other person outdoors, in an open public space
- you should stay at home as much as possible to protect yourself and your family.
Full details of Tier 4 restrictions can be found on the government's website

Remember the basics. Hands. Face. Space
Approximately 1 in 3 people who have coronavirus have no symptoms and could be spreading it without realising it. It's important to remember the basics.
-
hands – wash your hands regularly and for at least 20 seconds
-
face – wear a face covering in indoor settings where social distancing may be difficult, and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet
-
space – stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings)
Follow the guidance on meeting others safely
