HBC Staying Safe Advice!

From Saturday 4 July, pubs, restaurants, hairdressers and some other public venues, will be able to open for the first time since lockdown began.

If you use these businesses, you'll be making a vital contribution to the recovery of the local economy - but please do so safely.

The threat of coronavirus has not gone away so as more people begin to get out and about, it’s important that you continue to take precautions to stay safe.

The current guidance is still to keep two metres away from others.

From 4 July, you should still keep two metres apart where possible, but where it is not, a social distance of at least one metre apart is acceptable if other precautions (for example face masks, screens or facing away from others) are taken.

Good hand hygiene is key to prevent the transmission of coronavirus. Continue washing your hands with soap and water more often than usual and bring hand sanitiser with you if possible.

You can minimise the need to touch any surfaces by using a contactless payment card or paying for parking using RingGo.
