Warrington’s latest COVID-19 hot spots revealed in new data from Public Health England

WARRINGTON’S COVID-19 hot spots have been revealed in the latest data available from Public Health England, with the highest number of cases identified in the Hood Manor and Sankey Bridges areas.

The new data comes after the Government announced new restrictions for Warrington because of the recent spike in cases with 343 new cases reported between Sept 21-27.
The new measures come into force at midnight on Friday.

What are the rules and restrictions now in Warrington?
•Public transport should be used for essential purposes only – like going to work or school
•Residents are advised against spectating at amateur/semi-professional sports
•Only 15 people are allowed to attend weddings, civil ceremonies and receptions
•Face coverings must be worn in hospitality settings when not sat at your table, in shops and in taxis (unless you’re exempt on medical grounds)
•Workers who can work from home, should do so
•Hospitality for food and drink must be table service only
•Hospitality, leisure and entertainment venues are required to close between 10pm and 5am
•There can be no mixing of separate households, in one house or private garden (unless you have formed a household support or childcare bubble)
•Mixing of separate households in indoor settings is banned (unless you have formed a household support or childcare bubble), and mixing of separate households outdoors, such as in parks, is also not advised
A household support bubble is where a household with one adult joins with another household (on an exclusive basis). Households within a bubble can still visit each other, stay overnight, and visit public places together.
A childcare bubble is where someone in one household can provide informal (i.e. unpaid and unregistered) childcare to a child aged 13 or under in another household. This must occur on an exclusive basis – always the same two households.
