This information is based on the latest government guidance published on lockdown on 4th January 2021.
What are the main things we need to know about the Scarborough, Whitby & Filey Lockdown?
- Schools and colleges to immediately close other than for key workers and vulnerable children
- Nurseries and early year provisions to remain open
- Support bubbles and childcare bubbles are still permitted
- You are permitted to go outdoors to exercise in your local area once a day. You must exercise alone, with your household, with your support bubble or with one other person.
Where can you go in lockdown?
- Going outdoors for recreation is not permitted- this must be for exercise. Note recreational picnics are not permitted, although it seems to indicate that if you were to take sustenance on a longer walk for example, that would be permitted.
- Playgrounds are remaining open for children to exercise.
- Local parks and countryside
- Public gardens and grounds of heritage sites are also permitted to remain open
- Support groups that have to be delivered in person can continue with up to 15 participants where formally organised to provide mutual aid, therapy
or any other form of support – but they must take place at a premises other than a private home
- Essential retail and market stalls are permitted to remain open
