You cannot mix indoors, In private gardens, or in most outdoor venues, except with your own household or bubble.
You can meet in a group of up to six from other households in public outdoor spaces, such as parks.
Avoid travelling from a Tier 3 area to a Tier 2 area unless it is an essential journey such as going to work when you can’t do your job from home.

The self-isolation period has changed from 14 days to 10 days. This is for:
Anyone who has come into contact with someone with Covid-19.
