Social gatherings above six banned in England from 14 September

09.09.20 13:15


Social gatherings of more than six people will be illegal in England from Monday - with some exemptions - amid a steep rise in coronavirus cases.

 

A new legal limit will ban larger groups meeting anywhere socially indoors or outdoors, No 10 said.

 

But it will not apply to schools, workplaces or Covid-secure weddings, funerals and organised team sports.

 

It will be enforced through a ?100 fine if people fail to comply with police, doubling up to a maximum of ?3,200.

 

The change applies to people in England of all ages, and to gatherings indoors and outdoors, in private homes, public outdoor spaces, and venues such as pubs and restaurants.
