Some of the rules on what you can and cannot changed on 12 April. However, many restrictions remain in place:

• You must not socialise indoors with anyone you do not live with, unless you have formed a support bubble with them, or another exemption applies.
• You should continue to work from home if you can and minimise the number of journeys you make where possible.
• You should get a test and follow the stay at home guidance if you have COVID-19 symptoms.

You can read the ‘COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021’ (the roadmap) for more information on how COVID-19 restrictions will be eased in England. It is underpinned by law.

During the coronavirus outbreak, people are recommended to follow government, public health and NHS advice closely. This advice may change as the situation evolves. To assist you, Rutland County Council has set up a community information, advice and support hub.
