From Thursday 5 November, everyone must stay at home, and may leave only for a limited set of reasons. These include:

  • For education;
  • For work, if you cannot work from home;
  • For exercise and recreation outdoors, with your household, support bubble or on your own with one person from another household;
  • For all medical reasons, appointments and to escape injury or harm;
  • To shop for food and essentials;
  • And to provide care for vulnerable people, or as a volunteer.

Non-essential shops, leisure and entertainment venues will be closed. Click and collect services can continue and essential shops, including supermarkets, will remain open. Pubs, bars, restaurants must close, except for takeaway and delivery services.

We ask everyone visiting the town to please:

  • Observe social distancing rules
  • Wear face coverings as required
  • Use contactless card payment where you can
  • Wash your hands as often as possible
  • Use hand sanitiser when available
  • Take time to plan your visit and familiarise yourself with the processes that may be in place within individual businesses

Be cautious. Be calm. Be kind.

Both the Town Rangers and the COVID Safety Marshals will be patrolling in the town centre throughout lockdown and are on hand to assist you should you have any concerns when visiting Guildford for exercise or to buy essential items.
