I think Pierre makes a valid point that for many the differences between tier 3 and 4 are negligible. I can go out for a meal (with one other household) venues close early and I can’t drink? Eh I’ll just stay in thanks. I’m not that big on in person non-essential shopping regardless of the pandemic and I still wouldn’t go for a haircut. My £12.99 clippers will serve me until I’m in tier 2 equivalent thanks.

The only tangible difference between lockdown and Tier 3, is that all shops are allowed to open, and schools are open.

1. Staying at home
You should only leave or be away from your home for very limited purposes:

shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible

one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household

any medical need, including to donate blood, avoid injury or illness, escape risk of harm, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person

travelling for work purposes, but only where you cannot work from home

Everything you can do in Tier 3 that you couldn't do in lockdown...

... Get your hair and nails done

Personal care services are allowed to operate in Tier 3, so you can go to the hairdressers and see your beautician.

It means you can get treatments including botox and get a tattoo or a massage.

Do a workout

Gyms have reopened and the direct debits have been taken off hold, so there's no excuse for not getting back to those workouts. Leisure and sports facilities may continue to stay open, but group exercise classes (including fitness and dance) should not go ahead.

You should only exercise in a gym with members from your household.

Watch your child play football

Covid-19 secure organised sport is permitted, so that means grassroots football is back on.

Enjoy sport outside

Outdoor sports, including golf and tennis are allowed to continue in all tiers.

Take your children to their clubs and classes

All indoor covid-19 secure are back on, so that includes dance classes, swimming lessons and children's organised sports including gymnastics.

Go swimming

Leisure centres in Hull and the East Riding have reopened.

Go to a parent and toddler group

Parent and toddler groups – up to a maximum of 15 people can run in Tier 3. Under-fives do not count towards this limit. These cannot take place in private dwellings however.


Meet more people outdoors

In lockdown, we were limited to only meeting one other person from another household outdoors.

Under Tier 3 restrictions, we can now mix with up to six people outdoors. So you could meet five friends, from five different households outdoors – in a public place, but we still can't mix in private gardens.

Get married

Up to 15 people can attend your wedding. Receptions are not permitted.
