Norwich City Council weekly update on the city’s response to COVID-19 – Friday 29 May 2020

Published on Friday, 29th May 2020

As lockdown restrictions are gradually eased we are focusing on how we can innovate and adapt to get the city back on track and deliver our critical services, while also keeping people safe.

We will continue to keep you updated with news, service updates and support available to help navigate the challenges ahead. Thank you for continuing to follow social distancing guidelines as we enter this next stage. For the latest overview of all changes and support please visit www.norwich.gov.uk/coronavirus.

An overview of this week’s key updates

Using our parks and open spaces

From Monday 1 June, up to six people will be allowed to meet in our parks and open spaces – as well as in gardens and in private outdoor spaces – providing those from different households remain two metres apart. You should try to avoid seeing people from too many different households in quick succession.

Help/information for businesses

From 15 June, non-essential shops in the UK will be allowed to reopen, provided safety measures are met. This date could change if the number of coronavirus infections rises or fails to fall at the expected rate.

It is essential you follow government guidelines and health and safety regulations before you reopen your business. 

Norwich Market

One of the ‘jewels in the city’s crown’, Norwich Market, will re-open from Monday 1 June. It’s important customers follow the measures put in place to keep everyone safe. More about the market re-opening.
