Step 2 begins...

As I suggested in my last blog, Step 2, or Step 3 if you can add up, of the Government's master plan to returning to normal following the COVID-19 Crisis begins today, with Hastings back among the least hit areas again, thankfully, currently with just 3 incidences; approximately 15% of the national average rate per 100,000. 

I am replicating below changes from today; source the BBC website:

'More businesses will open, but indoor settings should be visited alone, or with household groups. Outside, six people or two households can meet.

  • All shops allowed to open
  • Hairdressers, beauty salons and other close-contact services can open
  • Restaurants and pubs allowed to serve food and alcohol to customers sitting outdoors
  • Gyms and spas can reopen, as can zoos, theme parks, libraries and community centres
  • Members of the same household can take a holiday in England in self-contained accommodation
  • Non-essential journeys between England and Wales are allowed
  • Weddings - up to 15 people
  • Funerals - up to 30 people, with 15 at wakes
  • Children will be able to attend any indoor children's activity
  • Care home visitors will increase to two per resident
  • Driving lessons can resume, with driving tests restarting on 22 April'

Whatever you get up to please do remember there still is a pandemic, so don't forget to continue washing your hands regularly, maintain social distancing, and wear a face covering where required in law and to respect others, stay safe folks!
