The government has summarised its guidance on social distancing and how many people can gather socially.

Social interactions with people from other households are limited to 6 people indoors and outdoors. There are some exemptions to this limit, Covid-19 Secure venues like restaurants and hospitality venues, can host a larger number of people in total but groups larger than 6 should not mix or form larger groups.

The advice is that people should continue to physically distance from people they don’t live with where possible.

Test and Trace
