Things you need to know about social distancing
One of the main ways that coronavirus is spreading in Rotherham is through social contact between families and friends. To keep you and your loved ones safe you must follow the guidelines.
Keep to the rule of six – do not meet in groups of more than six people either inside or outside. There is a minimum £200 fine for anyone found breaking this rule.
Stay two metres (six feet) away from anyone you do not live with.
A maximum of 15 people will be allowed to attend weddings and receptions. The current maximum of 30 people attending funerals will remain in place.
Sporting venues that can’t currently host spectators will not be able to allow people in from October as initially planned.
The rule of six will now also apply to indoor sports, no more than six people (adults) will be allowed to take part in sporting activity together in any indoor venue.
Face coverings must be worn by customers, passengers and staff in shops, taxis, on public transport and in hospitality venues, except when seated to eat and drink. There is a minimum £200 fine for anyone found breaking these rules.
