Can I go to a restaurant in Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3?
Speaking to the House of Commons on Thursday, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “The less any one person passes on the disease the faster we can get this disease under control together and that is on all of us. Hope is on the horizon but we still have further to go so we must all dig deep. The end is in sight, we mustn’t give up now, we must follow these new rules and make sure that our actions today will save lives in future.”
The majority of England has been put under Tier 2 and Tier 3 restrictions, with only the Isle of Wight, Isles of Scilly and Cornwall, qualifying for Tier 1.
Mr Hancock added: “Thanks to the shared sacrifice of everyone in recent weeks, in following the national restrictions, we have been able to start to bring the virus back under control and slow its growth, easing some of the pressure on the NHS.
“Cases are down by 19 percent from a week ago and daily hospital admissions have fallen seven percent in the last week.
“January and February are always difficult months for the NHS, so it is vital we safeguard the gains we made.”
