What has changed
The government has announced that the measures put in place under Plan B in England will be lifted. This means from 27 January there will no longer be a legal requirement to wear a face covering in any setting. The government suggests that you continue to wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you may come into contact with other people you do not normally meet. This guidance will be updated shortly to include more information on these changes. You should continue to follow all of the guidance on this page to keep yourself and others safe.
The guidance covers:
- hostels with individual self-contained rooms with en-suite facilities that have shared kitchens
- hostels without individual self-contained rooms and that have communal facilities
This guidance does not cover night shelters.
