Meeting family and friends
- people in Sheffield must not meet socially with friends and family indoors in any setting unless you live with them or have formed a support bubble with them. This includes private homes, and any other indoor venues such as pubs and restaurants.
- informal childcare can also be provided via childcare bubbles.
- you may continue to see friends and family you do not live with (or have not formed a support bubble with) outside, including in a garden or other outdoor space. When you do so, you must not meet in a group of more than 6. This limit of 6 includes children of any age.
- if you live in a High alert level area you also cannot meet indoors with people outside of the area, unless exceptions apply.
