Covid-19 Update for Hexagon residents

On 19th July, the government changed the law around COVID-19 and from this date it’s up to individuals and businesses to follow government guidance on what measures are needed to stay safe. 

While this will mean an end to the legal requirement for wearing face coverings and social distancing in shops and on public transport, the government has passed the responsibility of choosing what COVID-19 restrictions to keep in place to us. 

We’ve used our risk assessments and the latest government guidance to review how we provide our services to you, and have decided to continue with the following measures for the time being to help keep you and our colleagues safe.
