People in Oxfordshire are being urged to continue the good work that has helped reduce the county’s COVID cases during November when national lockdown is lifted and new local restrictions are introduced on 2 December.
Oxfordshire has been placed into the ‘high’ alert level (tier 2) by central government. This means that from 2 December:
- People must not meet socially with anybody outside their household or support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place.
- People must not meet in a group of more than six outside, including in a garden or other space.
- Hospitality venues will be allowed to stay open until 11pm – with last orders at 10pm. However, only those that serve substantial meals can operate, and alcohol can only be served with substantial meals.
- Non-essential shops can reopen, as can personal care businesses such as hairdressers, gyms and the wider leisure sector. All businesses and venues that reopen must ensure that COVID-secure measures are in place.
