The second lockdown of 2020 is finally over - with Hitchin now entering Tier 2.

Tier 2 means bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as barbers and hairdressers and a whole range of businesses can now reopen.

But what do the restrictions mean for YOU.

Here's our Nub News guide to Tier 2:

- No mixing of households indoors apart from support bubbles - rule of six outdoors

- Pubs and bars must close unless operating as restaurants, and hospitality venues can only serve alcohol with substantial meals

- Last orders at 10pm, close by 11pm

- Reduce the numbers of journeys made and avoid travel into Tier 3 areas

- Overnight stays permitted with your household or support bubble

- Places of worship open but people cannot interact with anyone outside their household or support bubble

- Weddings, civil partnerships and wakes can have 15 guests

- Funerals can have 30 guests

-Exercise classes and organised adult sport can take place outdoors, but not indoors if there is any interaction between different households

- Elite sporting events, live performances and large business events can take place with 50 per capacity, or 2,000 people outdoors/1,000 indoors (whichever is lower) - social distancing applies
