In terms of hospitality, pubs and restaurants will be re-opened in tiers 1 and 2, while alcohol can only be served with a ‘substantial meal’ in tier 2.
In tier 3 all pubs, restaurants and cafes must close apart from for delivery or takeaway.
The curfew has also been tweaked, and while alcohol can’t be served past 10pm, people can stay until up to 11pm.
For sports events outdoors, in tier 1 up to 4,000 people can gather, while in tier 2 the number is 2,000 people.
