Southport, Sefton and the rest of the Liverpool City region will enter new Tier 2 ‘High Alert’ restrictions when the national lockdown ends next Wednesday (December 2).
Our region has avoided the ‘Very High’ Tier 3 restrictions after a substantial fall in Covid-19 figures locally over the last few weeks as people continued to follow Coronavirus advice on social distancing and other measures.
Sefton Council has provided the following information to help people understand the new restrictions:
What does Tier 2 mean?
Residents and businesses within Tier 2 must stick to the following restrictions:-
- No household mixing in any indoor setting.
- Rule of six applies outdoors – any social gatherings of more than six people are against the law.
- Pubs and restaurants must close by 11pm – last orders will be called at 10pm.
- Alcohol can only be served as part of a substantial meal.
- Spectators are allowed at sports events and live performances (capacity will be limited and social distancing must be stuck to).
- Personal care, including hairdressers and barbers, is allowed.
The Government is reviewing the Tiers every two weeks, meaning if our figures start to increase, we could be placed in a higher category with tighter restrictions so it’s really important that everyone keeps up their efforts.
Why are these restrictions necessary?
Covid-19 is easily transmitted from person to person and while infection rates locally have been reducing, they are still too high.
Action needs to be taken to stop the spread of the virus within local communities and limiting interactions with other people as much as possible will help to contain the virus.
The restrictions are in place to protect not only yourself, but those around you.
The sooner we can contain the virus within our communities, the sooner we can get back to some sort of normality.
Remember if you, or anyone in your household, starts to experience symptoms, it is important that you isolate and book a test. The main COVID-19 symptoms are a high temperature, a new continuous cough and a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste.
You can book a test online https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test or by calling 119.
Sefton Council Leader Cllr Ian Maher said: “Everyone across the Liverpool City Region is playing their part to get our infection rates down and that effort is clearly having an impact as we have come out of lockdown in a better position and in the Tier 2 alert level.
“By following the rules, we have seen a significant decrease in our infection rates across the Liverpool City Region and the mass testing programme in Liverpool is helping us to better understand the virus and, importantly, identify people who don’t have symptoms but have tested positive so that they can self-isolate and prevent the further spread of the virus.
“Whilst our figures are reducing, they are still too high but we have demonstrated that by following the rules, we can improve our infection rates here across the Liverpool City Region. “This is a great achievement and one that we will continue to build on over the coming weeks and months.
“Stop. Think. Do the right thing by continuing to follow the rules so that we can start to do and enjoy the things we once did and get back to some sort of normality sooner.”
The full list of Tier 2 restrictions is available on the Government’s website.
