Chief Medical Officer Professor Chris Whitty and Chief Science Officer Sir Patrick Valence considered that action was urgently needed following the rapid increase in the number of positive cases.

Where do these rules apply?

The lockdown ban means that people will not be allowed to congregate or mingle with individual homes in any public place, indoors or out.

This includes private houses, parks, pubs, restaurants and sports competitions.

If you are exercising with another person, it should be done in an outdoor public place such as a park or beach.

What are the exceptions to the rule of six?

Support bubble

Homes or support bubbles of more than six people have been exempted from the new rules. Aid bubbles allow adults who live alone and single parents with children under 18 to move to another home.

Under the new rules, parents of children under the age of one year can also create an “aid bubble” with a second home.

This means that they can work such as traveling to their home, staying overnight, and traveling together in vehicles.

Weddings

Weddings were not allowed under current restrictions, meaning that many couples had to postpone again.

However, starting on 29 March means that the timing of weddings will no longer be limited to exceptional circumstances. This means that anyone wanting to get married can do so with up to six participants.

Summer weddings with unlimited guest lists can return if the ban is lifted from 21 June.

Funeral

The funeral may continue, with 30 people allowed to pay their respects. But only six people will be allowed to be vigilant.

Schools and Offices

All primary and secondary schools reopened on 8 March, although GCSE and A-level exams are canceled for the second year.

Prior to the ban, only vulnerable children and children of key workers were allowed to attend schools for face-to-face learning, and early childhood facilities such as nurseries were accessible.

At work, the Prime Minister said that everyone should work from home unless it was “impossible” to do so.

Pubs and restaurants

On Wednesday 6 January, all pubs and restaurants in England are closed and can only offer to take and drive away (until 11am) to take food and non-alcoholic beverages.

All food and drinks (including alcohol) can be provided upon delivery.

Places of worship

Churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples remain open, although congregations are required to be at least three feet apart and attendance is capped. According to current guidelines, services should be terminated as soon as possible, with devotees encouraged to leave “early” thereafter.

Sports event

Outdoor sports facilities, including golf courses, tennis and basketball courts, and swimming pools, can all open as restrictions relax on March 29. The broad “rule of six” limit for social interaction applies to outdoor sports.

If the game is organized formally – for example by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, business or charity – it is not subject to the limits of the gatherings. But government guidelines say that “it should conform to the guidelines issued by national governing bodies.”

Outdoor games held for adults and children will also return, but indoor games will still be prohibited.

Will I be punished for breaking the rules?

If you congregate in large groups then the police can take action against you. This includes stopping illegal ceremonies and issuing fines (fixed penalty notices).

You can get a fixed penalty notice of £ 200 for the first offense, double for a maximum of £ 6,400 for other offenses.

If you attend or are involved in the illegal organizing of more than 30 people, the police can face a fine of £ 10,000.

What are the rules in other parts of the UK?

Different rules apply to social ceremonies elsewhere in the UK.

How can we socialize safely?

A campaign has been launched to encourage people to help prevent the spread of coronovirus, as people are more likely to stay indoors during the fall and winter.

The Hands Face Space campaign urges people to wash their hands, use masks when appropriate, and stay at least two meters away – or one meter away with face masks or other precautions.

The campaign states that these are the three most effective ways for the public to stop the spread of the virus.
