It was announced earlier this week that Swindon will be in Tier 2 when the current national restrictions end on Wednesday.

The medium alert tier means people in the town will face a tougher level of restrictions, along with most of the country. 

Only the Isle of Wight, Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly will be under the lightest Tier 1 controls.

Pubs and bars will have to remain closed unless they are operating as restaurants, alcohol can only be served along with a "substantial meal".

But the previous 10pm curfew has been extended. With last orders now at 10pm, and venues required to close from 11pm until at least 5am. 

And people aren't allowed to socialise outside of their household or social bubbles. This means group trips to the pub aren't allowed for now.

Elsewhere in the hospitality and leisure sector, retail, leisure and personal care services are able to reopen, but organised sport between more than one household must remain outdoors for now.

Weddings and civil partnerships will be allowed 15 guests in attendance, while places of worship can also open back up.

Here is the full list of new Tier 2 rules, as of December 3:

No mixing of households indoors apart from support bubbles will be allowed

A maximum of six people can meet outdoors.

Pubs and bars will remain closed unless operating as restaurants,

Alcohol will only be served as part of a “substantial meal” until 10pm, before venues must close at 11pm.

All retail, leisure and personal care services are able to reopen.

Overnight stays will only be permitted for those in the same household or support bubble

Places of worship can reopen, but people must not interact with anyone outside their household or support bubble.

Fifteen guests will be allowed at weddings and civil partnerships, increasing to 30 for funerals.

Classes and organised sport can take place outdoors but not indoors if there is any interaction between two different households.

Large events including sport and live performances will be open to the public but limited to 50% capacity or 2,000 outdoors and 1,000 indoors.
