New rules for England, 29th March - do we not have to stay local?
« on: Monday 29 March 21 14:15 BST (UK) »
Hi folks,

There are mixed messages in the news as to whether or not people are to "Stay Local" now in the new rules that have come into force today in England.

I've gone to https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus and then gone to "What you can and cannot do", but I can't for the life of me work out if we are now required to stay local or not.

Any ideas?

Possibly "minimise travel" but who knows  :-\ :-\ :-\  And it will all change again, I'm sure!  :o

I am going to watch the government briefing later today (presumably 5pm?) and take news from there.  Deliberately not looking at any speculation before that. 

My local council sends regular covid updates so would suggest anyone who has the option to sign up for those as well.  They give local statistics as well as spelling out the latest instructions.

I understood that 'stay at home' was enshrined in law but 'stay local' is not, it is only guidance so no actual contra-indicator not to travel but we are being advised to 'stay local'.

However, who defines 'local'.

Pheno,

There is no mention of "Stay Local" (for England) from what I've read on the government website, as far as I can see.

I believe that is what we are being asked to do, but as I said it is not a legal requirement which is probably why it is not mentioned on government website.

Wouldn't we be asked to do it on the government website if they wanted us to do it?

We have been abiding by the Covid rules and regulations, and using the gov.uk website solely as the source of what we can and cannot do.

Can't remember who said it, or on what TV programme, but it was said that Government wanted everyone to stay local, but there was nothing stopping you traveling anywhere in England.

As usual - clear as mud! ;D ;D
