Covid-19

Exeter has now entered Step 3 of the government's four-step roadmap to ease restrictions across England and provide a route back to a more normal way of life following the Covid-19 pandemic. Find out more about what this means here and check the Exeter.gov.uk website for local updates on what is open in Exeter.

In Step 3, from 17th May, overnight stays away from home in England are permitted and indoor hospitality and entertainment such as museums, theatres, cinemas and children’s play areas can reopen.

Step 4 will take place no earlier than 21 June, when the remaining restrictions will be lifted.

For the full list of which restrictions will be lifted when, please visit the Gov.uk website.
