Are they just relaxing restrictions on pubs or are we totally coming out of lockdown?

Well Boris said we would so it must be true!

TheRubyRedshoes · 21/11/2020 22:37

No, I doubt it very much cases are still high even if they are coming down and Hull has been declared a national emergency... I imagine it will be back to tiers?

Re pubs I don't know but if pubs and restaurants do open they must make sure Windows and doors are open to keep the space ventilated.

littlemisslozza · 21/11/2020 22:38

Doubt it! Back to tiers I expect.

PurpleDaisies · 21/11/2020 22:40

Nobody has ever said it would be out of lockdown and back to nothing. It’ll be back to tiers with beefed up tier 1 and 2.

FlushiTheSnowman · 21/11/2020 22:40

I doubt it

pennypinchh · 21/11/2020 22:40

Not tiers again! :( Effectively not coming out of lockdown if you're in tier 3, then

Did you just see the breaking news on this?

Are you really surprised by this? They’ve been saying this all along.
Ilovegreentomatoes · 21/11/2020 22:43

Any updates on when we are going to hear from boris on this? Feel more fed up with lockdown this time around.

Mintjulia · 21/11/2020 22:43

Back to tiers. Unless cases are very low in a specific area, I don't expect any changes until mid-December.

PurpleDaisies · 21/11/2020 22:46

There is a breaking story on the bbc website.

Press conference on Monday.

wegetthejobdone · 21/11/2020 22:48

Back to tiers, announcement Monday, more info leaked to the Telegraph as usual.

SunshineCake · 21/11/2020 22:49

We have to come out of lockdown legally but obviously there will be stricter tier situations as too many people are catching the virus.

WhentheDealGoesDown · 21/11/2020 22:55

Apparently we will find out our tiers on Thursday

GooseberryTart · 21/11/2020 22:56

I don’t think anyone knows for sure yet. Agree with @Mintjulia I think it could be extended at least another week or 10 days or changed to some new tier system after 2nd. I very much doubt everything will go back to be relaxed to any kind of normal.

Things maybe relaxed for a few days at christmas but I can’t see them saying fit as many households as you can into one house and all sit on top of each other eating christmas dinner, playing party games and hugging your nearest and dearest (young and hold) for however many days etc.

Eitherway I would imagine many will ignore whatever the government says, continue partying well into the NY (many more will die and more will loose their livelihoods) and things will be even worse and more depressing in Jan and the government will blame the public as many photos videos of covidiots will be in circulation.

Sparklesocks · 21/11/2020 22:58

Nobody has any more info than you do at this stage.

Apparently back into three tiers. Announcement on Monday and we'll find out which tier each area will be on Thursday. Not exactly a big surprise!

Jellykat · 21/11/2020 22:59

Did you mean so is ENGLAND coming out of lockdown on Dec 2nd?
I and the rest of Wales is not in lockdown atm.

TheoriginalLEM · 21/11/2020 23:02

Tiers with tighter restrictions so that'l be a no for the majority, apart from a village in cornwall so boris can say he ended the national lockdown Sad

WhentheDealGoesDown · 21/11/2020 23:02

New strengthened tiers and a winter plan framework through to Spring. Oh joy.

Retiremental · 21/11/2020 23:03

It depends where you are in the UK. Not everyone lives in England Wink

CountreeGurl · 21/11/2020 23:04

Announcement next week, there will be extra tiers added

islockdownoveryet · 21/11/2020 23:07

Boris said on the 31st October we will go back to tiers.
I'm hoping for tier 2 but my dh reckons tier 3 .

WhentheDealGoesDown · 21/11/2020 23:08

I thought the thread was only about England as we are the only ones in lockdown until the 2nd aren’t we?

Moonmelodies · 21/11/2020 23:09

Surely it will depend on the numbers. Might even be a proper lockdown.
