The Government recognises this will be a challenging time for any business which has been asked to close.

All shops can continue to offer home delivery to customers and click and collect services during the current restrictions.

The current restrictions will expire on 2 December, and our intention is to return to?a system of?local and regional restrictions. We will set out what this means for retailers and other businesses as soon as possible.
