• Walsall Covid-19 Alert Level High

  Wed 14 Oct 2020

  Covid-19 Alert Level High

   

  In the new local alert system Walsall has been ranked as high risk. In practice that means that in addition to the standard measures we should all be taking we must now:

   

  • not socialise with anybody outside of your household or support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place
  • not socialise in a group of more than 6 outside, including in a garden or other spaces like beaches or parks (other than where specific exemptions apply in law)
  • businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a COVID-secure manner, other than those that remain closed in law
  •  certain businesses are required to ensure customers only consume food and drink while seated, and must close between 10pm and 5am
  • businesses and venues selling food for consumption off the premises can continue to do so after 10pm as long as this is through delivery service, click-and-collect or drive-through 
  •  schools, universities and places of worship remain open
  • weddings and funerals can go ahead with restrictions on the number of attendees
  • exercise classes and organised sport can continue to take place outdoors. These will only be permitted indoors if it is possible for people to avoid mixing with people they do not live with or share a support bubble with, or for youth or disability sport
  • you can continue to travel to venues or amenities that are open, for work or to access education, but should look to reduce the number of journeys you make where possible

  You must:  

  • wear a face covering in those areas where this is mandated

  You should continue to:

  •  follow social distancing rules
  • work from home where you can effectively do so
  • walk or cycle where possible, or plan ahead and avoid busy times and routes on public transport
