British Govt. eases Coronavirus restriction for Christmas
People in Britain will be able to celebrate Christmas with other families under a relaxation of Coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions for the holiday period.
Three households will be allowed to celebrate together as a Christmas bubble, the government announced.
The grouping would be exclusive, meaning one household could not change and meet another household outside their bubble during the period Dec 23-27.
The rules would apply for all parts of the United Kingdom: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
There will also be a relaxation of travel restrictions.
Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove said the announcement represented a balanced and workable set of rules that we hope will allow people to spend time together at this important time of year.
England is returning to a tiered system of coronavirus restrictions at the beginning of December, after a partial lockdown lasting four weeks.
Food outlets such as restaurants will be able to reopen from Dec. 2 under certain conditions and in areas with lower infection rates.
The same goes for non-essential businesses, fitness studios and hairdressers.
