Are the shops open today?
The second national lockdown saw shops closing for the second time this year in a bid to curb rising coronavirus infection rates. Now, England’s lockdown is being replaced with a three-Tier system which will come into effect on December 2. The revised tier system was voted in by MPs in the House of Commons on Tuesday. The Labour party abstained from voting, with party leader Sir Keir Starmer saying his party has “serious misgivings” about the plans.
Are the shops open today?
The top 2 Tiers of coronavirus restrictions will apply to 99 percent of the country from Wednesday, December 2.
That means pubs, restaurants, and entertainment venues will either be allowed to open with new restrictions, or will be forced to stay closed.
However, yes, the shops are open today.
Lockdown officially ended at 12.01am today, meaning all shops, including those which sell non-essential goods, can reopen from this morning.
