Lockdown ending on 1/12 or 2/12?

When lockdown was announced it was up to and including 2/12, since yesterday's announcement a lot of things I'm seeing are saying we go into tiers from 2/12 which effectively means lockdown ending on 1/12. Can anyone clarify the day lockdown ends?

Lockdown ends at 1 minute past midnight on the 2nd I believe.

moveoverhogger · 24/11/2020 18:53

So all non essential shops can open back up on 2/12?

Yes 🙌 at midnight

I thought it ended once the 2nd Dec ended, so 12:01am on the 3rd. This would make it exactly a 4 week lockdown as it started on a Thursday

It's definitely 0.01am on the 2nd December so yes shops can open from the Wednesday.

@laudemio that was what I thought

The Wednesday..going by what all the Beauty places and hairdressers have posted on Facebook anyway.

The legislation ran for 28 days starting from the 4th November. The 28th (and final day) is the 1st so as soon as it becomes the 2nd the legislation is no longer legally in force so the tier system automatically comes in

Quartz2208 · 24/11/2020 20:05

Starting the 5th so it should end on the 2nd - depends on the time I guess

@Quartz2208 it's confusing isn't it, it started on a Thursday for 28 days, so it should end on weds 2/12. But yes all the hairdressers and beauty salons are posting that they are taking appointments for the 2nd.

yes @moveoverhogger

the wording in the regs is

The restrictions will cease to have effect 28 days from the date on which these Regulations are made.

It looks like it started at 0.01am and ends at 0.01 on the 2/12 rather than 23:59 (which would make more sense)

moveoverhogger · 24/11/2020 20:36

@Quartz2208 thanks that's clearer I didn't think of it like that.

My gym emailed to say they’re reopening at 6am on the 2nd ☺️
