Shielding Advice – From 10 July
The advice is to keep shielding until at least 31 July 2020. From 10 July, our advice is that people who are shielding at home can:
- stop physically distancing from the people they live with
- use indoor toilets in other people’s houses when visiting them outdoors
- meet up to 8 people outdoors, from 2 other households, in a single day
- travel further than 5 miles from your house, as far as they want
- book self-catering accommodation or travel to a second home – only to stay over with people they live with at home
These changes only apply to those who are shielding and do not live in a residential care or nursing home. Your care home should be following the Care
