You should only leave the house for one of four reasons.
● Shopping for basic necessities​, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.
● One form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.
● Any medical need​, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.1
● Travelling to and from work​, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.

Last week, the Government ordered certain businesses - including pubs, cinemas and theatres - to close.
The Government is now extending this requirement to a further set of businesses and other venues, including:
● all non-essential retail stores - this will include clothing and electronics stores; hair, beauty and nail salons; and outdoor and indoor markets, excluding food markets.
    
​Where applicable, this includes moving children under 18 between their parents’ homes.

 ● libraries, community centres, and youth centres​.
● indoor and outdoor leisure facilities​ such as bowling alleys, arcades and soft play facilities.
● communal places within parks​, such as playgrounds, sports courts and outdoor gyms.
● places of worship, ​except for funerals attended by immediate families.
● hotels, hostels, bed and breakfasts, campsites, caravan parks, and boarding houses for commercial/leisure use (excluding permanent residents and key workers).
