What the 'High' Alert Level Restricitions mean for West Berkshire

West Berkshire has been placed in Tier 2 High Alert from 02/12/20 until further notice from the Government.

This means we cannot mix households indoors, apart from support bubbles.

However up to 6 people from different households can meet outdoors, including in a garden or a public place.

In addition, under the High Alert tier:

• Shops, gyms and personal care services (such as hairdressers) will all reopen.
• Pubs and bars must close, unless they are operating as restaurants. Hospitality venues can only serve alcohol with substantial meals. Last orders will be taken at 10pm, and venues must close by 11pm.
• Hospitality businesses and venues selling food and drink for consumption off the premises can continue to do so after 10pm as long as this is through delivery service, click-and-collect or drive-through.

• People should minimise travel and work from home where possible. Please note that you should not travel into a Tier 3 “Very high” area unless where necessary such as for work or education.

• Schools, colleges, university and early years settings will be open.
