Tier 2 rules mean indoor mixing with people from different households is not permitted but there are a few exceptions.

From Wednesday December 2, Salisbury and Wiltshire will enter the 'high' alert tier which brings tougher restrictions than those in place before the lockdown started.

You can read about what you can and can't do HERE.

Among these is a ban on gatherings and indoor mixing with people outside your household.

However, there are a few exceptions which apply to all tiers.

As set out on the government's website, these are:

  • as part of a single household, or a support bubble
  • for work or providing voluntary or charitable services, including in other people’s homes
  • for childcare, education or training – meaning education and training provided as part of a formal curriculum
  • for supervised activities provided for children, including wraparound care (before and after-school childcare), groups and activities for under 18s, and children’s playgroups
  • for formal support groups, and parent and child groups – up to 15 people aged 5 and older
  • to allow contact between birth parents and children in care, as well as between siblings in care
  • for arrangements where children do not live in the same household as both their parents or guardians
  • for prospective adopting parents to meet a child or children who may be placed with them
  • for birth partners
  • to attend a funeral – with no more than 30 people present – or a commemorative event such as a wake for someone who has died – with no more than 15 people present
  • to see someone who is terminally ill or at the end of life
  • to attend a wedding or civil partnership – with no more than 15 people present
  • to provide emergency assistance
  • to avoid injury or illness, or to escape a risk of harm
  • to fulfil a legal obligation, such as attending court or jury service
  • to provide care or assistance to someone vulnerable or to provide respite for a carer
  • to facilitate moving home

Outdoor gatherings are permitted but the rule of six applies.
