England moved to Plan A on the 27 January where restrictions were relaxed. The government is no longer asking people to work from home, and members are being advised to talk to their employers to agree arrangements to return to the office. There is not a legal requirement to wear a face covering, rather it is being advised for crowded and enclosed spaces. Venues and events are also no longer required by law to check visitors’ NHS COVID Pass.
Updated guidance has also been released on managing public outdoor settings including toilets and playgrounds and for venues holding wedding and civil partnership ceremonies, receptions and, celebrations, which will be of interest to local councils.
