Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Government COVID-19 roadmap 

As of 29 March, the ‘stay at home’ rule has ended – and some other restrictions also ease.

Meeting others outdoors

Outdoor gatherings (including in private gardens) of either six people (the rule of six) or two households are now allowed, making it easier for friends and families to meet outside. Households should not mix indoors.

Outdoor sports facilities

Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis and basketball courts can reopen, and people are able to take part in formally organised outdoor sports.

In Chesterfield, this means:

• outdoor facilities managed by Queen’s Park Sports Centre and the Healthy Living Centre in Staveley will be open for bookings
• council-run outdoor pitches will be available to hire
• outdoor gym facilities can be used
• multi-use games areas (MUGAs) can re-open

People should minimise travel and holidays are not permitted.

Full details of Government restrictions in place from 29 March are available on the Government's website. See the full COVID-19 roadmap.

Shielding for the clinically extremely vulnerable ends on 31 March.
