Can she mix with her friends on a weekend who she sees in school within her bubble. We are moving into tier 2 tomorrow. She had arranged a trip into town this weekend with her school friends. There will be 6 of them who she sits with and has lunch with everyday. I am thinking she could meet outside but not go into shops together. But I am not sure if this would be allowed.

Not really worth going to town as they need to be 2m apart as SD applies plus they can meet indoors so can’t shop etc.

They are fine outside, we are tier 2 and my daughter wanted to go into town with a friend tonight after school but they cancelled as they would nt be able to go in primark together. But she could go in on her with half of Nottingham already in there!

They can't meet indoors so as PP said so no point in going.

Also shopping is shit at the moment as most shops changing rooms are closed so you can't try anything on.

I suspect hospitality businesses are going to be strict. My DD is at uni in Scotland and they wouldn't let her household of five book a table (at the point when six where allowed to mix socially outside).

Also, some people aren't going to be comfortable with groups shopping as it'll be hard to SD from individuals. Perhaps, they could shop in groups of two and buy a sandwich and treats to eat in nearby park. I know it sucks.

Yeah they are just going to hang out and buy a sandwich somewhere. She has been so good And wantis to abide by the rules. It’s just confusing when they aren’t social distancing at school

It's because education is a priority but meeting up outside school isn't.

They need to reduce the instances of them mixing when they don't need to reduce the instances of transmission to the rest of their families, and other people members of their families can't help but coming into contact with.

They don't socially distance at school because they can't. Outside of school they must limit their interactions or it increases the risk to children in schools.please don't think that the concept of a bubble protects them, because it really does not.
