What are you not allowed to do under the new rules if you live in one of the affected areas?


Meet people you do not live with inside a home or garden, except where you have formed a support bubble. (A support bubble can be formed by an adult who lives by themselves, or is a single parent with dependent children, with one other household of any size to form a close support network - allowing close contact with them as you could if they were members of your own household)
Visit someone else's home or garden, even if they live outside the affected areas

Basically keep yourselves to yourselves.


So no large gatherings, especially religious ones and funerals.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Yet you can still meet in a park or in other outdoor spaces (just not gardens)

Gyms are back open in Wales from 10th August :romance: :eek: :ninja: :drool: :Sprint:

Yes, I agree with you, but I'm saying his tweet is confusing as it says "...people from different households will not be allowed to meet each other indoors in these areas"

Holding a press conference would have enabled such matters to be clarified.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Basically you can't meet other people unless there's a card reader present.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Oh i see, apologies.

Personally i believe that the health secretary has been confusing since this all started.

If it were up to me I'd have Rishi as PM,Chancellor & any other important ministerial roll.

He's outperformed (considerably) all others in the current climate.

Indeed it would appear the risks from the virus are considerably lower when an economic benefit is available.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Basically people from different households shouldn't be in close proximity to one another, in whatever type of location.

Re: Coronavirus
 

It would have been pretty simple to have held a press conference at 5 or 6 pm yesterday.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Unenforceable, pub/restaurant will not be able to tell (and more than likely probably won't care) People can an be trusted to meet in a park or other outside space and maintain safe distancing but not in a private garden.

It's an utterly shambolic situation

Boris to give briefing at 12pm according to the beeb

Re: Coronavirus
 

Impossible to come up with every single ridiculous scenario. Eg I don't have what could be described as a back garden, more of a back yard. It isn't mysteriously excluded from the rules, because only gardens are mentioned.:rolleyes:


People know full well what the underlying principles are, despite the media continually deliberately trying to muddy the waters.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Ah yes, the medias fault, of course.

Re: Coronavirus
 

Which the government conveniently use a lot for their own political ends...

Re: Coronavirus
 

Yes, that old chestnut. Good to see Boris stepping up to do a press conference though.

Re: Coronavirus
 

So when have the media ever set out the underlying principles, so that people can understand them?:confused: They are CONSTANTLY causing confusion, merely by using the word "confusion", and CONSTANTLY handing out convenient excuses for people to use, that they can then use to not obey the simple rules. Eg "Oh I can't wear a mask because of X, Y, Z", when the X, Y, and Z have come from the media. "I don't have to socially distance because of X, Y, Z", when again those non-existent excuses have come direct from the media. They just repeat them parrot-fashion. Just watch the news and see the excuses people come up with, and then say that the excuse has just been repeating something in the media. It goes on CONSTANTLY on all sorts of issues, long before now.
