Measures have been introduced in North Tyneside to tackle the rising coronavirus infection rates.
From Friday 18th September, regulations will ban the following:
• Residents must not socialise with other people outside of their own households or support bubble in private homes and gardens
• Hospitality for food and drink will be restricted to table service only
• Late night restriction of operating hours will be introduced, with leisure and entertainment venues required to close between 10pm to 5am.
Residents are also advised to adhere to the following guidance to further reduce rates of infection:
• Residents should not socialise with other people outside of their own households in all public venues.
• Residents are advised to only use public transport for essential purposes, such as travelling to school or work
• Holidays should be taken within your own household or support bubble
• Residents are advised against attending amateur and semi-professional sporting events as spectators.
We are yet to receive the regulations outlining the advice, guidance and legislation in full. We will further communicate implications for our residents and businesses as soon as we can.
In addition, those who are classed as more medically vulnerable to COVID-19, or who have previously been shielding, are advised to take extra care. Our support hub continues to be available for medically vulnerable residents who can’t call on others for support. For details, please call 0345 2000 101 or email contact.us@northtyneside.gov.uk
Please be assured that this is not a decision that has been taken lightly, but one that places our residents’ health and safety at its heart. We are doing everything we can to keep our vulnerable residents safe, businesses open and children in school, and these measures will help us to do so.
