Can someone please sum up the differences between T3 and T4 please? My head is spinning with announcements and tier changes.

I think the main one is non essential shops can't open in T4.

starrynight19 · 23/12/2020 16:20

Shops and beauty / leisure / gyms etc closed in tier 4. Basically tier 4 is the November lockdown.

CEV are asked to shield again in tier 4

T3 can meet up to 6 outside in public place, T4 just 1.

Main difference for me is that organised group exercise is still allowed outside in T3 but not in T4 - you can only meet with one person.

No meeting in groups outside, can only meet one person. You can't leave your area, in tier 3 this is guidance, in tier 4 it's law.

Can support bubble people leave tier 4 to tier 3 to give support and go back again?

I think so yes but don't quote me. Tier 4 is almost the same as the national lockdown in november.

Mousehole10 · 23/12/2020 16:31

@Gobacktothe90s yes support bubbles are still allowed, but they should be local where possible, so if there's another option their local area it should be that, but if not its allowed. The people in tier 3 have to live like they are in tier 4 though if they are joined to a household in tier 4, so they also can't up in groups outside, or go into non essential shops etc.

GabsAlot · 23/12/2020 16:53

more shops are closed although they can still do click and collect support bubbles not affected

CorianderQueen · 23/12/2020 17:10

T4 doesn't get Christmas Day with others outside the household

@CorianderQueen
True but the “new” tier 4 folk don’t enter tier 4 until the 26th

Dinosaur19 · 23/12/2020 17:44

Tier 3 - non essential shops open, rule of 6 outside

Tier 4 - non essential shops shut, essential journeys out only, meet one other person outside.
