Tandridge Coronavirus Update – 21 December 2020

Tandridge district in Tier 4 restrictions 

The Tandridge district is now in Tier 4 of the government’s system for England.

Residents are being asked to stay at home, although those who have to travel for education or work may continue to do so, where your place of work remains open and where you cannot work from home (including if your job involves working in other people’s homes).

Residents in Tier 4 will only be allowed to celebrate Christmas with members of their own household and their support bubbles. No-one in Tier 4 will be allowed to join Christmas Day bubbles in Tiers 1 to 3.

Under Tier 4, social mixing is restricted to meeting one other person from outside your household in an open public space. Support bubbles remain unaffected, as do the exemptions for separated parents and their children.

All non-essential retail will close, along with hairdressers, indoor gyms, nail bars and indoor entertainment venues.

More details can be found on the gov.uk website.

The measures will be formally reviewed on Wednesday 30 December.

Hands. Face. Space

Thank you to everyone who has been following the Covid-19 guidelines to try and keep coronavirus cases down. We all need to continue to do everything we can to limit the spread of the virus.

To keep everyone safe please remember.

• Hands – wash your hands regularly and for 20 seconds.
• Face – wear a face covering in indoor settings where social distancing may be difficult and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet.
• Space – stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings).

Approximately one in three people who have coronavirus have no symptoms and could be spreading it without realising it, so it’s really important we all continue to follow government guidance.
