People in Lincolnshire are being warned to stick to social distancing rules for “as long as possible” as Covid-19 restrictions begin to be eased from today.
Two households or groups of up to six people are now able to meet outside as the “stay at home” Covid order comes to an end.
Outdoor sport facilities in England, including tennis courts and golf courses, are reopening and organised outdoor sports can now resume.
Weddings attended by up to six people are also allowed.
But professor Derek Ward, director of public health for Lincolnshire, has warned: “Unless you are living in a household or bubbled up with somebody you must keep to your 2m-plus social distance all the time.”
He added: “I would suggest people keep that going for as long as possible as we come out of lockdown, because that’s how we’ll minimise the risk of passing it on to each other.”
