Health chiefs have said North Tyneside is open for business after confusion caused by government travel guidelines.
The government had urged people to avoid travelling in and out of the borough to combat the spread of the so-called Indian variant of Covid-19.
The advice sparked major confusion for residents and businesses.
Now the Department for Health has said it will amend advice to say there are no legal restrictions in place but is still asking people to minimise travel.

THE GOVERNMENT is to make it clearer that it is not imposing local lockdowns, as a Kirklees board announced the district is still service as normal. Earlier today it emerged that Kirklees had been placed on a list of eight Indian variant hotspot locations where people were being urged against all but essential travel in and out of the area. This was due to rising cases of Covid-19 cases in these select areas and the latest figures show that Kirkless has the fourth highest infection rate in the country, behind Bolton, Blackburn with Darwen and Bedford. There was much confusion, with the Leader of Kirklees Council, Councillor Shabir Pandor, seemingly only finding out about the guidance through social media.
Government advises against travel to parts of North due to Indian variant THE Government is advising people to avoid all non-essential travel in and out of North Tyneside due to the spread of the Indian Covid variant. The borough is one of eight council areas in England that should be avoided “unless it is essential”, according to guidance on the Government’s website. The stricter advice appears to have been published online on Friday without an official announcement being made – and it contradicts comments made by North Tyneside’s public health director on Monday afternoon. The Local Democracy Reporting Service understands there was no communication between central government and North Tyneside Council before the advice to avoid the borough was published.
