People must comply with the restrictions and guidance in place in the area that they are currently residing. Those residing in areas that are under additional restrictions above the medium level should not be travelling to other areas. Similarly, we expect that inhabitants of medium restriction areas should not travel to other areas with greater restrictions.

The National Health Service continues to provide healthcare services in all parts of the country, and there are exemptions to the rules in areas of increased restrictions that allow patients to attend medical, dental and ophthalmic appointments in other areas. There are no specific restrictions relating to travel and transport. However, people should keep their journeys to a minimum.
