Can someone sum up the new rules?

[Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady]

I missed the first part!

I know schools have closed until Feb half term.

Nursery open

Can you meet anyone for walks?

Takeaways open?

Borders closed? (Probably not)

Could someone sum it up for me?

Apparently more details on gov.uk but I just checked and website crashed!

I think it will be very much the same as the last lockdown except people won’t take as much notice this time!

Think of it like March lockdown but support bubbles can remain.

I’m interested too. I want to know if support bubbles for those with a child under one, are still allowed. Govt website has crashed.

I’ve just read the new guidelines, tbh it looks like tier 4 but with schools closed.
Can still meet one person outside
Takeaways still open

You must not leave, or be outside of your home except where necessary. You may leave the home to:

shop for basic necessities, for you or a vulnerable person
go to work, or provide voluntary or charitable services, if you cannot reasonably do so from home
exercise with your household (or support bubble) or one other person, this should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.
meet your support bubble or childcare bubble where necessary, but only if you are legally permitted to form one
seek medical assistance or avoid injury, illness or risk of harm (including domestic abuse)
attend education or childcare - for those eligible
Colleges, primary and secondary schools will remain open only for vulnerable children and the children of critical workers. All other children will learn remotely until February half term. Early Years settings remain open.

Higher Education provision will remain online until mid February for all except future critical worker courses.

If you do leave home for a permitted reason, you should always stay local in the village, town, or part of the city where you live. You may leave your local area for a legally permitted reason, such as for work.

If you are clinically extremely vulnerable you should only go out for medical appointments, exercise or if it is essential. You should not attend work

Meeting others
You cannot leave your home to meet socially with anyone you do not live with or are not in a support bubble with (if you are legally permitted to form one).

You may exercise on your own, with one other person, or with your household or support bubble.

You should not meet other people you do not live with, or have formed a support bubble with, unless for a permitted reason.

Stay 2 metres apart from anyone not in your household.

From the government website

There's a whole 22 page document on Gov.uk that you can trawl through.

Does anyone know anything about children who's parents are seperated?

Dd was seeing her dad once a week, as permitted. Is this still the case?

@LizzieSiddal childcare bubbles allowed for under 14s

Always look on gov UK.

@Namechange8471 still allowed

ScreenShot the gov site summery if it helps.

I’m confused can I still meet a friend tomorrow in the park If both babies are 6 month old??

Sorry I'll try again

Thank you!

Solasum Thank you.

The big difference this time is that it's legally enforceable, not just guidance if I heard Johnson right?

What about click and collect at retail?

The Guardian reports that special schools are staying open, same as nurseries, but struggling to find confirmation anyway. Anyone spotted that?

Basically - carry on as before except tough shit for school age kids and women trying to work whilst schools are shut. But everyone else can carry on as before - basically ignore the rules, do as you did before (but spend more online rather than in shops) and if you have the money pay teachers to tutor your kids to make up for the lack of teaching online (and wonder how on earth the teachers have suddenly found the time to fit in all this extra paid tuition).

Can construction still work? My husband works totally alone in construction

Pay special attention to the use "should" and "cannot".

"Should" not go out for exercise more than once a day seems to indicate that legally you will still be able to do so more than once a day.

That's really good for parents of younger kids.

What do you mean by a legal bubble? My mums my carer but we don't have a legal document to prove it?
