National lockdown for England 2021
Guidance to follow
The only time you are able to leave your home is for specific purposes:
- essential shopping
- for work, if you absolutely cannot work from home
- exercise
- to seek medical assistance (including to get a Covid-19 test)
All primary and secondary schools and colleges must move to remote learning, except for vulnerable children and children of key workers until at least February half term.
The government has allowed early years provision to remain open. You should check with your provider for further details.
Shielding will resume for those who are clinically extremely vulnerable. Those affected will be written to in the coming days by the government as to what this means to them.
