But after the introduction of a new Covid variant during the November lockdown, more drastic measures were needed.
All non-essential shops have been ordered to close for the duration of the lockdown.
You should only leave your home to go food shopping, for medicine, for work (if you can’t reasonably work from home), and to escape domestic violence.
If you develop any of the key warning signs of Covid, you should get tested straight away, and remain self-isolated until you get your results.
