x people will no longer be able to form, or be in, an extended household (sometimes called a “bubble”)

x this means meeting indoors with anyone who is not part of your household (people you live with) is not allowed at the moment, unless you have a good reason, such as providing care to a vulnerable person

x all licensed premises must stop serving alcohol and will have to close at 10.20pm

people must work from home wherever possible
