Last updated 15th Oct 2020
York will be put into Tier 2 of the Government’s coronavirus alert levels – meaning tougher restrictions for residents.
The move means households will be banned from mixing indoors, including in pubs.
Outdoors, you can meet in groups of up to six people.
Businesses and venues are not asked to close under Tier 2 and the national guidelines on shutting at 10pm, wearing face coverings and operate in a Covid-secure manner, including restrictions on table service and group bookings will apply.
The city’s MPs were told about the move by ministers.
York’s case rate continues to rise.
The case rate was at 247.37 per 100,000 people on October 12.
And yesterday the council’s director of public health Sharon Stoltz said there are more than 30 people in York Hospital with coronavirus.
