A friend of mine said the office where her boyfriend works was kept open throughout lockdown, theres about 10 of them in the one office and they all recently had antibodies tests. 2 of them were positive and the rest negative. Despite working in the same room every day for months during the first peak.

Their social distancing must have been spot on!
 
Does anyone know what “guidance against travel” once we go into Tier 3 on Friday means in practical terms? Is it just advisory or can it be legally enforced? With half term coming up, could you take trips out of the area with the kids or is this a big no?

I have a just read a list and it is advised essential travel only and I don’t think you can go from a 3 area to a 2. Date I say who would know though?!

I think ric from day one it’s been avoid none essential travel but there’s no enforcement against apart from a full lock down what as of yet isn’t in place. Wales have these restrictions in place though from England.

Those who are in Tier 3 then cannot mix between households in any indoor setting. Households outside Tier 3 cannot visit you. However, you can meet other households outdoors and in private gardens providing that the rule of six is followed.

Thanks for the replies. Just read the below, and it suggests it’s only advisory rather than mandatory. Reason I ask is that I’ve done a website for a client I know who has a chalet in Cornwall. Instead of paying me he offered me a few days there during half term (months ago). It’d just be our household, but would we be breaking the rules if we actually went?!

“Can I still go on holiday?

You can, but the rules vary depending on which tier you are living in.

If you already on holiday when rules change in your hometown, you do not need to come home and can carry on your trip worry free.

Those in Tier 1 can still go on holiday with a group of up to six people from six households and stay together, as long as they practice distancing.

Those in Tier 2 can only go on holiday and stay with those in their household or support bubble. You can stay in a hotel with people outside your household but you shouldn't share rooms and should be outside when mixing with them.

Those in Tier 3 can only go away with their household or bubble, but have been encouraged not to travel out of their area.”

Just go, it’s just like you staying at home really if you’re in a cottage.
 
Man, this disease makes little sense. I have an acquaintance, who is the picture of bad health. A heart defect found aged 25, paralysed on one side by strokes in his 30's (now). Lives off greggs, a crate of stella a day mixed with a bag of weed a week. Hospitalised just before Covid with pneumonia. Recently tested positive and touch wood, looks to be be coming out of it without as much as a sniffle. It's baffling and scary in equal measures to me. This isn't a covid is nothing post either, quite the opposite. It can be dumb luck how it gets you.
 
I now know of at least ten people currently with it through work or family. Is clearly absolutely rife up here. Would be very interested to see the percentage of people in Manchester who have now had it? At some stage it has to start impacting the r rate??
