The Government’s roadmap out of lockdown moves on a stage on Monday 29 March as part of the country’s slow easing out of Covid restrictions.
Outdoor gatherings (including in private gardens) of either 6 people (the Rule of 6) or 2 households are now allowed, making it easier for friends and families to meet outside.

With more nice weather expected and lockdown restrictions eased, we want people to enjoy the fantastic green spaces across the city, but ask - please remember to dispose of your litter and take it home if the bins are too full.
Let's keep our parks lovely and clean for everyone to enjoy!
Thanks, Sheffield.
Safer Working
The Government is offering workplaces with more than 10 staff the opportunity to order home test kits for their staff if they register by 12 April.
However, Sheffield workplaces with fewer than 10 staff can still have access to home test kits. Staff can collect the tests from the asymptomatic test centre at EISS, Coleridge Road, Sheffield S9 5DA. The site is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, excluding bank holidays.
Mask in school
We know the past year has been very difficult for young people and we’d like to find out how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted them. We’re asking those aged 11 to 18 to take a few minutes to complete our anonymous survey below here.
A new mobile testing unit for pedestrians and drive-throughs has opened in Arbourthorne, off Eastern Avenue.
It is located at Algar Close, Sheffield, S2 2HZ and is open 7 days a week 11am-4pm. If you have any symptoms of Coronavirus, however mild, you must self-isolate immediately and book a test by calling 119 or click the link below.
Covid-19 Testing Units
Testing is a vital part in our fight against the spread of Covid-19 and to help reduce the rate of people contracting the virus, your help is still needed as much as ever.
You can get a test at one of six testing centres by booking an appointment in advance.
If you are showing any of the following symptoms of Covid-19, however mild, you need to get tested as soon as you can:
- A high temperature
- A new, continuous cough
- A loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
