Not allowed to meet separate household indoors and 2 metre distance

Does that mean clubs and pubs will have to close

Just a background character

Department of Health and Social Care had confirmed the restrictions will apply to all indoor settings - so it will mean that no two households should meet in places including pubs and restaurants.

Do they make up these rules as they go along?

You cant go to a house with 4 people but you can go in a boozer where there could be 100?

Yeah, but the pub will have social distancing and enhancing sanitizing and other mitigation. So you can look at the other household from a distance or through a screen

That's a strong yes!!

So you can't meet another household inddors, but you could just sit at the next table? And does that mean job interviews have to be rearranged in a field? The whole thing is idiots bumbling in the dark

Think they were saying many of these places have high Asian population who tend to have several generations in the same household. That's bad enough as if one person gets infected the whole household gets infected including the elderly. If the household's are also mixing it soon gets out of control

just reading the actual wording of the statement....

“people from different households will not be allowed to meet each other indoors” in Greater Manchester, Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Rossendale, Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees and the city of Leicester."

problem is on twitter at the moment the mp's from those areas affect are interpreting this in different ways....

basically from what i can work out you will not be allowed in any indoor setting where you can mix with anyone outside your immediate bubble....

so if i was a swinging club in any of the areas, i don't see how you could operate... but thats just me!

So we are still in the first wave. Don't listen to this second wave rubbish.

To my knowledge only decedance and Gatehouse have opened. Rochdale (were Decedance is) has actually dropped the amount of cases.

I don't like this one little bit, but I kind of get it. The rest of the UK has got the virus under control. We haven't. We need to stamp it out before winter otherwise we risk a real second wave and 10,000s of more deaths.

Its more likely that at work - employers will attempt to enforce social distancing and other mitigating measures.

When people visit friends and family in their households, there is no guarantee that social distance will be adhered to.

the problem looks like that the house bit looks like its "regulation" meaning in theory its technically enforcable... where as the pub/restaurant bits look like they are "guidance"... which means its not technically enforcable...

As Manchester Airport is in Greater Manchester, I imagine it will affect it. To what extent we don't know, but it will apply to Manchester Airport in exactly the same way as sat the Trafford Centre. Of more concern to the airport is the fact Luxembourg has been taken off the no quarantine list. Others will undoubtedly follow.

I don't think it will have any affect on whether you can use the airport. We are imposing blanket quarantine on countries with regional spikes. Others are being selective based on the spikes. I'd hazard a guess that a fair few places will be imposing quarantine on passengers travelling from Manchester in the near future. Just a case of having to wait and see I think.

One way system in and out, 1-2m distance between people, hand sanitizing stations at regular points, restriction on number of people allowed inside at any time - anyone not adhering to these rules are asked to leave ?

No cos they want to build the economy back up so it's safe to sit in bars/restaurants with strangers wearing no masks but heaven forbid you sit in your home with a family member. They think we are stupid

If people stopped visiting 5 plus seperate households and not socially distancing indoors and in gardens we wouldn't have this problem.

In a pub you are socially distancing. thats why its ok to sit 1m apart from non masked strangers in pubs.

Quite plainly from a lot of the comments in this thread lots of people are very stupid.

The advice is very simple for those with more than one brain cell.

Dont mix with other households if they or you are from the areas listed, mixing means getting within two metres or one if wearing masks. Meeting outside with plenty of space is ok.

How bloody hard is it to understand.

Of course the thing they darent say is multi generation ethnic households meeting for Eid are spreading it in most of these areas.

Have you not seen the news, that pub in the Midlands where they have lockdown the town, the videos and imagines from the pub clearly show it packed and no social distancing whatsoever, now they have to try and track 700 visitors as they didn't follow the guidelines. Also the new areas I believe are being restricted due to a certain religious festival to try the minimise the spread within a high risk group. It's common sense really they last thing you need when the spread is creeping is everyone meeting up on mass.

How they will police these local restrictions is another matter, as a lot didnt bother following the first lockdown

Just watching Andy Burnham on TV and he came across really well and made a lot of sense what he was saying. Came across as someone being statesman like and not a whinger. An actual opposition politician that for the first time is trying to be helpful and I really liked it.

Then............. Charlie Stayt starts asking the Silly questions to trip him up. I had to turn it off. It's almost as if the BBC is doing everything in it's power to cause division and rifts. I find it very upsetting and decided to turn it off.

Yeah why not as long as you social distance which has been the guidance all along,families are alot more familiar with each other kissing,touching etc its not rocket science stay apart from people not in your household.Reading some of the comments on here im not surprised its spreading again.Too many people seem to rely on what someone has put on twitter if they read the gov guidelines instead of bloody twitter it might all be a bit clearer.

So what would people prefer. A sledgehammer to crack a nut approach, lock down the area. Bring in the spanish inquisition and impose draconian regulation or something a bit more targeted and lighter so that the economy in the area doesn't have to shut down completely.

I'd personally prefer a bit of a tweak to local rules so that provided you are careful I can carry on fairly normally. I do understand that some people on here prefer the opposite but I am glad there are people in charge that are not so attached to being members of the spanish Inquisition. Did I just mention " The spanish Inquisition". Did anyone expect that.

"Department of Health and Social Care had confirmed the restrictions will apply to all indoor settings - so it will mean that no two households should meet in places including pubs and restaurants.

Do they make up these rules as they go along?

You cant go to a house with 4 people but you can go in a boozer where there could be 100?"

But, if the pub is operating correctly, seperate tables...spaced out with table service only (as tgey are around here). So that isnt the problem.

The problem is people not following the tighter guidelines. The situation has arisen due to not following guidelines in the first place....so unlikely to do so now.

Sadly, and not wishing this to sound racist in any way, the ficus does seem to be around particular communities, perhaps where social distancing is less adhered to?

Controversial but very true. There would be no social distancing at all and it's been reported certain ethnic groups are more at risk of contacting Corona. Sad but true.

Do muslims go to the pub?

Yes. Its alcohol they don't normally consume.

Ok....still trying to get my head around the restrictions. And not pointing fingers ,like eating pork as the other poster above pointed out

You could open a can of worms with this if your not careful lol.

How someone handles thier religious beliefs is entirely up to them.

It's the way the govt is handling it that I'm trying to get my head around.

The way it was rushed in with no briefing at 9pm.

Eid was mentioned at the beginning of the quote....so it's not unjust to ask the question.

To start with we were promised 5he press briefings would restart when major changes were to be implemented.

It did not happen and this seems as it was all made on the hoof with one Tory mp saying one thing this morning...only to be changed by another. I know your love for them has no boundaries...but to some of us ,we try try..to make logic from what is happening. Its not a case of love for them but love the way people make a song and dance over nothing.Is it really that hard this morning to ring your family and say sorry i cant come round yours now or meet you down the pub we could meet up in a beer garden or the park though? Do people actually need 24 hours to do that?"

People have children who were relying on family to provide childcare whilst they work today.

yesDoes my household include close family members?

Your household – as defined in law – is only the people you live with. If you have formed a support bubble (which must include a single adult household i.e. people who live alone or single parents with dependent children aged under 18) these can be treated as if they are members of your household. this should cover that problem.Have a nice day moaning im of down the beach.

I decided to take the sensible option and not travel to Manchester

My anger at this is that this should have been covered under a 5pm press Confrence and not on a Ministers twitter feed at 9pm

To shut down 2.4 million people with less than 4 hours notice is bordering on crazy. I am not saying not to do the shut down but shutdown pubs and hospitality as well

That is not happening the guidance is actually very very vague

"just reading the actual wording of the statement....

problem is on twitter at the moment the mp's from those areas affect are interpreting this in different ways....

basically from what i can work out you will not be allowed in any indoor setting where you can mix with anyone outside your immediate bubble....

so if i was a swinging club in any of the areas, i don't see how you could operate... but thats just me!

No different than a pub and they're allowed to stay open.

Perhaps it's your perception rather than fact"

In a pub you can still eat or drink within your bubble... if the whole point of the swinging clubs at the moment is to socialise... but you are not allowed to mix under the restrictions indoors to do that.. that was why I said what I did

It wasn’t meant as a dig or a slight

Costa Blanca Spain...

Here in Spain dozens if not hundreds of religious and cultural events have been cancelled because of the virus.

In Germany Oktoberfest has been cancelled because of the virus.

Millions have had their holiday plans thrown into chaos because of the virus.

Millions of football fans cannot go to the match because of the virus.

People are losing their businesses and jobs because of the virus.

Most importantly people are dying because of the virus.

So does anyone really think that I give a shit about another religious festival being cancelled because of the virus?

Let me think about it for a nanosecond... Er No.

And also mentioning about the winter months being very challenging.

I think in them months it will revert to what we call a full lockdown again.

So, I read that the outbreaks are from families mixing in household groups indoors without social distancing, that's why that has been stopped. If the outbreaks aren't from pubs or work places why would they close those?

Exactly. Just like the parks, demonstrations and beaches. The common denominator is that being outside does not appear to result in a sharp uptick in cases.
