New restrictions will come into force from Thursday 5th November as the UK enters a second lockdown period.
Cllr Julie Dore, Leader of Sheffield City Council, outlines the support available to businesses at this time.
Government have issued further clarification on which businesses can remain open during the new lockdown period, with restrictions in place until 2nd December.
The latest guidance includes greater detail and examples of business types, to help each business consider the guidelines and assess whether they are a business required to close or if they can remain open.
The guidance also provides updated details on operating in a Covid Secure manner and can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-businesses-and-premises-to-close/closing-certain-businesses-and-venues-in-england.
