1/4 While lockdown may have ended, your responsibilities haven’t. A certain level of restrictions remain in place, including visitors to another household.
Here’s what you need to know:
◾ You may only have five visitors to your household at any one time.
2/4◾ This limit does not include children under the age of 12 and there is no time limit for visits.
◾ Visitors do not need to be the same 5 people each time, but try to minimise the number of different people coming to your house as we continue to manage the current outbreak.
3/4 ◾ You should wear a face mask when visiting someone’s home. All people aged 12 years and over must carry and wear a face mask at all times when outside of their residence. There are exemptions to this requirement, for example when eating or drinking.
