COVID-19 App
GOV.UK and NHS are launching the COVID-19 App nationally on Thursday 24th September 2020 and there is a requirement that all businesses required to record customers details either display a QR code or have their own method of recording visitors and staff who access the property. The intention is that the use of the NHS App and QR code is the preferred method of collecting contact details. See "Do I need a QR Code" link.
Social Distancing Requirements
Businesses must be "covid Secure" and ensure that they follow requirements to keep staff and customers safe. Restaurants and bars in particular are reminded that they now required to not accept bookings of more than 6 people, do not allow groups of 6 people to enter and do not allow people from different groups to mingle(unless it is an exempt gathering). Businesses must also ensure that social distancing and cleaning measures are in place.
Further guidance is available using the links on this page.
