Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what guidance he has issued on couples in established relationships who live apart in Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas.
Legislation relating to social distancing in local Covid alert level high and very high applies to couples in established relationships.
Published Government guidance recommends not travelling into or out of the local Covid alert level very high area, except for exempted purposes. Those living in local Covid alert level very high areas should not stay overnight outside that area, and those living outside local Covid alert level very high areas should not stay overnight inside local Covid alert level very high areas without legitimate reasons.
