The Wealden area has fortunately remained in tier 2 tonight following the latest announcements, however, there are new rules in place for the Christmas period.
Hastings and Rother, this afternoon (19th December), moved into the newly created tier 4 due to the large amounts of new COVID-19 cases.
Residents are being urged to take note of the new Christmas rules. You can still meet in a bubble of up to three households, but only on Christmas day and you cannot include households from tier 4 in your bubble
You are strongly advised to ‘stay local’ whenever possible and act as if you carried the infection. You should not leave the country except for urgent work reasons.
The government will continue to review health and infection data and will decide on any new changes to tiers by 30 December at the latest.
