The Scottish government states that when socialising with others, “you can meet with up to two other households at a time outdoors” in groups of up to eight people. In Northern Ireland, the government is urging members of the public to think about wearing face coverings “in particular circumstances” where social distancing is more difficult, such as on public transport or in shops, while similar guidance currently stands in Wales. In Wales, the government states that in accordance with the law, “you can’t leave your local area without a reasonable excuse”, encouraging people to consider working from home where possible.
