From Saturday 17th October Essex will move to High Risk (Tier 2) local restrictions.

The decision has been guided by science, with the number of cases of COVID-19 in Essex growing quickly.

What does this mean? 

• No household mixing indoors – this includes at home or in hospitality venues
• Different households can meet outdoors in public spaces but must stick to the 'Rule of six'
• 10pm curfews will remain in place for all pubs and restaurants
• Remember hands, face and space
• Reduce travel where you can
