10 December 2021+ : England moves to Plan B in response to the risks of the Omicron variant.- You must wear a face covering in most indoor public places, at large venues and events, and on public transport
- Get tested and self-isolate if required
- Work from home, if you can
- If you haven’t already, get vaccinated and get a booster jab
- Let fresh air in if you meet indoors. Meeting outdoors is safer
Changes from 19 January and coming soon:
19 JanuaryYou are no longer asked to
work from home if you can. Talk to your employer to agree arrangements to return to your workplace.
You can stop
self-isolating at the start of day 6 if you get 2 negative rapid lateral flow test results on days 5 and 6 and do not have a temperature. Tests must be at least 24 hours apart. If either test is positive, wait 24 hours before testing again.
27 January You will not be required to wear a
face covering, but you should continue to wear one in crowded and indoor spaces where you may come into contact with people you do not normally meet.
You’ll no longer need to show your
NHS COVID Pass at venues and events by law.
Until 27 January you must wear face coverings in Leicester City Council buildings, including LCB Depot, unless you are exempt for a medical or other legitimate reason, or you are eating or drinking.
