Depsite slamming visitors for trying to head to the county s pubs, he added businesses had been following the rules. We also saw how hard businesses were working to comply with Covid-19 safety measures; ensuring there was table service only, staff wearing masks and last orders at 10pm, with some making the decision to close earlier. The weekend before Christmas we always have additional officers on patrol to ensure those out celebrating are doing so safely, this year was no exception, and we did have more to reassure the community around compliance with Covid-19 regulations and to support local businesses. When we spoke to people who had travelled to drink here the vast majority were compliant and headed home. There was minimal disorder and thankfully only one Fixed Penalty Notice was required, where someone refused to wear a mask.
Kent Tier 4 coronavirus rules and what you can do
|
Updated: 11:06, 20 December 2020
As the sudden announcement of Tier 4 restrictions and what they mean for Kent sinks in, there are some permitted exceptions outlined by the government.
Although the central message is stay at home, there are reasonable reasons set out which allow a relaxation of the rules in certain circumstances.
Many now face the festive season alone having seen plans cancelled less than a week before Christmas Day
These include:
Working when it s not possible from home - including in other people s homes.
Shopping for essentials, though the advice is to stay as local as possible. Collections for any items, including food and drink, ordered through click-and-collect or takeaways, to access banks and post offices.
Support and childcare bubbles
How about trips overseas?
Those in tier 4 areas will not be permitted to travel abroad apart from limited exceptions, such as for work purposes. The Government has not specified fines for travelling against the rules of your Tier. However, the Home Office told Telegraph Travel that fines are already in place for those who break the rules.
The updated Foreign, Commonwealth and Development (FCDO) advice states: Following identification of a new variant of the virus, international travel from your area may be increasingly restricted because of domestic regulations. Different rules apply in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
