Community Buildings Covid-19 End to Plan B restrictions - Jan 2022
31st January 2022
Information surrounding Coronavirus and Covid-19 may change; ACTion with Communities in Cumbria (ACT) recommends everyone follow the latest Government guidance.
Face Coverings:
The lifting of the Government’s Plan B restrictions from 27th January means there is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face covering in village halls and other venues.
Government guidance has been updated to reflect this, saying: “Government suggests that you continue to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you may come into contact with people you do not normally meet.” https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-coronavirus-restrictions-what-you-can-and-cannot-do
Covid-19 remains a risk. It is therefore, still important to encourage those using the hall to wear a face covering in more crowded and less well-ventilated areas.
Note: Face coverings are still required in healthcare settings, including primary care (GP, dental, and eye care surgeries) and pharmacies.
ACRE Covid-19 document updates:
- Please note, information has been updated in line with Government guidance. Visit the ACT Coronavirus page to access the latest Update.
Self-isolation Rules:
Government Guidance has also been updated to reference the change to self-isolation rules from Monday 17 January. People with Covid-19 can end their self-isolation after 5 full days if they test negative on two consecutive days. The first test cannot be taken before day 5.
