The whole of Devon, including East Devon, has now been designated as a Tier 3 coronavirus area, residents are being urged to continue to play their part to protect themselves, their family, friends and neighbours
From midnight on Thursday, December 31, the district moved into tougher Tier 3 restrictions — also known as ‘alert level very high’ — following a rise in Covid-19 cases in recent weeks.
In Tier 3, people must not meet anybody outside their household or support bubble in any indoor or outdoor setting, whether at home, or in their garden. The 'rule of six' applies in open public spaces such as parks and beaches.

Work has started on road improvements for enhanced access at Exeter Airport to help boost economic recovery in the region.
The enhancements to Long Lane will unlock development of the new 19-acre AirPark site in the Exeter and East Devon Enterprise Zone which is expected to create around 1,000 jobs.
Valued at £3.7 million, the scheme will also facilitate a bus loop and cycleway, substantially improving access to the new Future Skills Centre and the maintenance hangars which have recently been taken over by Exeter Aerospace.
The scheme will also improve the access to Exeter Airport, a major gateway to the region, and help to facilitate the construction of key infrastructure for the forthcoming France-Aldernay-Britain (FAB) interconnector project.
