The Government update on Covid-19 yesterday (30 December) confirmed no change to Lambeth's Tier 4 status.
It is now more important than ever we play our part and prevent the virus spreading.
What does that mean?
Stay at Home
If you live in Tier 4 you must not leave or be outside of your home or garden except where you have a 'reasonable excuse'.
Get Tested
If you are not feeling well, get tested. If you test positive for COVID-19, you must self isolate.
Hands Face Space
You must continue to wash your hands regularly, wear a face covering, and maintain social distance.

If you have Covid-19 symptoms (new cough, high temperature, loss of taste or smell) book a free test immediately (www.nhs.uk/coronavirus or call 119) and self isolate by staying at home.
Primary Schools
Lambeth Council has called for clarity over the opening of Primary Schools.
The Department for Education (DfE) announced that in 22 of the 32 London boroughs, primary schools would not reopen to all pupils as originally planned on 4 January due to rising Covid-19 infections. This does not include Lambeth. Read the full story here. For updates, one option is to read Lambeth Council's Twitter feed.
Secondary Schools
The BBC News website has some clear information on the two week delayed reopening.
