Birmingham

A ban on households mixing in Birmingham, Sandwell and Solihull will be made law and come into force on Tuesday 15 September. The West Midlands mayor, Andy Street, urged people to start complying immediately after the city’s seven-day infection rate rose to 78.2 cases per 100,000 people

 

Northern Ireland

People in Belfast, Ballymena, areas to the north-east of the town, and parts of Glenavy, Lisburn and Crumlin cannot visit other people's homes, and no more than six can gather in a private garden

 

Western Scotland

Restrictions on private indoor gatherings across the west of Scotland now apply to 1.7 million people in Lanarkshire, Glasgow, Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire

 

Caerphilly

Local lockdown will not be lifted until at least October. People must not enter or leave the county borough without a reasonable excuse. Anyone over 11 must wear a face covering in shops. Indoor meetings are not allowed, extended households can’t be created and overnight stays are banned

 

Leicester

People should not have visitors to their homes or socialise with people they do not live with in other indoor public venues such as pubs, restaurants, shops, places of worship or leisure venues. They also should not visit friends or family in care homes, other than in exceptional circumstances

 

Parts of Greater Manchester, East Lancashire, Preston and West Yorkshire

People must not host others they do not live with at home or in their garden unless they have formed a support bubble – where a household with one adult joins with another household. People in the same bubble can stay overnight

 

Bolton

Hospitality venues are restricted to takeaway-only. The council has asked people not to mix with other households indoors or outdoors, and to use public transport only for essential purposes. It aims to prevent a local lockdown, after the town’s infection rate increased to 99 cases per 100,000 people per week – the highest in England

 

Blackburn, Oldham and Pendle

Two different households are banned from mixing indoors or in a garden. Visits to care homes are banned, other than in exceptional circumstances. In specific areas with extra restrictions, people should not socialise with people they do not live with at indoor or outdoor public venues, such as parks
