Rule of Six Guidance – COVID 19

The Government has published further guidance on the new “Rule of Six” including a FAQ (note that this applies just to England)

• Meeting Others Safely

This new guidance provides more detail  on the exemptions, which include:

• Weddings
• Education and training
• Work or voluntary/charitable services
• Some organised indoor and outdoor sports, physical activity and exercise classes (further linked details are provided on this)
• Youth groups or activities

The guidance also clarifies that  COVID-19 secure venues can continue to host people up to their social distancing capacity but that no one can visit in a group of more than 6 (except for the exemptions and where the household (including bubble) is greater than 6)

• Rule of Six FAQ

There is also a FAQ document to go with the guidance which states, among other things:

• People should not go on holiday in England with people outside their household (including bubble) in a group larger than 6 people
• Where people can travel to or what they can do on a holiday is not affected provided that the group size is not exceeded
• This does not change the guidance on what to do if someone catches Coronavirus while on holiday
