You can meet one other person from another household in an open public space to exercise * Shopping for essentials such as food and medicine * Communal religious worship * Meeting your support or childcare bubble. Children can also move between separated parents * Activities related to moving house Those who are clinically extremely vulnerable are advised to limit the time they spend outside their home.
