published: 7 December 2020

From 2 December The Government introduced a revised tiered system of public health measures. Birmingham and the urban West Midlands is currently in Tier 3: very high alert.


The rules in the new tiers have been strengthened, compared to the previous tiers in order to prevent a return to growing infections. We are still being asked to stay home, where possible, and reduce day-to-day contact with people outside of our households.


From Wednesday 2 December, we must continue to:


  • wear a face covering in most indoor public settings
  • work from home if we can
  • follow the rules on meeting others safely
  • should walk or cycle where possible
  • keep our distance if we go out (2 metres apart where possible)
  • wash our hands regularly
  • not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms


and finally, follow the gathering limits for our tier.


This document is intended to support Voluntary, Community and Faith organisations and Social Enterprises in Birmingham to understand what is permissible currently under Tier 3 COVID-19 restrictions.
