So much will be closed as part of tougher restrictions

A NEW national lockdown across England means people must stay at home unless for specific reasons, such as attending school or college, or going to the supermarket.

It will run from November 5 until December 2, then be eased on a regional basis

You can leave home for specific reasons such as education, if it is not provided online, work if you cannot work from home and exercise, which as many times a day as you wish.

People can also leave for recreational purposes with their own household, or on their own with one person from another household.

You can also leave home to shop for food and essentials, and provide care for vulnerable people.

Attending medical appointments is also allowed or to escape injury or harm, such as domestic abuse.

Support bubbles will remain in place and people can still meet up in their bubble.

Children can move between the homes of separated parents.

Non-essential shops, leisure and entertainment venues will all be closed. Non-essential retail includes clothing and electronics stores, car showrooms, travel agents, betting shops, auction houses, tailors, car washes, tobacco and vape shops.

Leisure includes bowling alleys, leisure centres and gyms, swimming pools, golf courses and driving ranges, dance studios, riding centres, soft play, water and theme parks.

Click and collect can continue and supermarkets, garden centres and shops “providing essential goods and services” will remain open.

Bars, pubs and restaurants must stay closed except for delivery or takeaway services. Takeaway alcohol will not be allowed.

Hotels, hostels and other accommodation should only open for those who have to travel for work and for a limited number of reasons which will be set out later.
