Changes to Coronavirus Restrictions
The government in England is set to enforce new rules limiting social gatherings to a maximum of six people indoors and outdoors. This shift aims to address a surge in COVID-19 cases by imposing stricter measures on social interactions, even within households. Certain exemptions apply for settings like offices, schools, universities, weddings, funerals, and sports events. The government's motive is to reduce widespread interactions contributing to the rise in infections, stressing the importance of adherence to these regulations.
