That’s what I thought but couldn’t find it. And I did hunt around the government Covid guidelines website. And if it rains how many can go indoors. Last minute parties...?

Still looks like 30 if you have a big enough house, looks like a late do, put the gazebo up

It is simple enough, 2 households, 6 inside, 30 outside but 2 households. It rains, 6 inside, rest have to go home.
Even easier now, 6 for both any number of households.
Your post actually makes the current change seem sensible even without the rising infection. Getting into autumn now, worse and colder weather coming. If you have 30 in your garden, how many are going to tell 24 to go home when it gets cold and dark at 6.30

i agree.. as i said, i want them back in school. Track & Trace is essential. If i get to the govt u-turns on this then it might shut down this tread.
Also, so is testing. Unfortunately my son developed fever today, so looks like he will be home for the rest of the week. this also means HID who is an NHS key worker cant see any patients next week. I am WFH, so it will feel like lockdown June in our household. Started checking the website, but nothing on.. cant get a kit or a center.

Did you really mean 30 from only 2 households in a garden? Where do you find two households that total 30? Not sure that that could be the case (certainly not what @oldskier thinks - and it was supposed to be straightforward...tish pish). Easier to understand from tomorrow - if you know all the exceptions and exceptions

Ok news to me but 30 seconds on Google shows the 30 people was a total myth. Current rules are 6 people from 2 households inside, 6 people from any number of household outside but currently the police cannot intervene in outdoor groups of less than 30.

Just spoke to the Mrs .. last time she under went her test, she went online and got a code. It was very straightforward. I will leave it in her capable hands.
If anyone is having difficulty working out these new Covid rules, I’ve broken them down for you...
You can meet hundreds of people at work or school, you can brush shoulders, pick their nose's and lick their face if you wish?!
But don’t meet more than 6 of these people in leisure time as the virus has mutated!
It now only infects you if there’s 7 or more people in a group and you’re chilling out.
It can not infect you at school or work, because it’s scared of the huge crowds of people.
You can still go to a pub where you are in an enclosed building breathing in everyone’s germs because Covid doesn’t drink, so it doesn’t go to the pub of course.
But scientists have discovered that Covid is quite partial to your parents or friends garden or house or in the open air where social distancing is very easy!
In fact, this is so risky that councillors are probably sat round a table in the local pub, discussing the closure of them right now!
It’s still ok for you to cram into tourists spots as long as only 6 of you come at once, because 7 might tip it over the edge and make Covid sad.
But you are alright until Monday because the Virus must be still on Holiday.
Think that should clear things up

Or maybe they are just making things simpler for simple people who can't follow the previous rules . Which has now caused a new spike.

But has people not following rules causes the new spike? I know this is a certain narrative, but how much has people taking advantage of the eat out to help out and going back to restaurants and bars impacted this? How much has people going back on public transport to go back into city centres to work caused it? How much will schools and universities going back cause it?
Not saying these things were not needed, but I think we need to be careful assuming the spike is all the fault of people having house parties or raves as they can be an easy scapegoat for certain sections of our press.

I liked the 24yr old lass really quite upset about their age group being blamed...after all - she said - it’s her age group that, in the main, work the pubs, restaurants, bars, cafes, coffee shops, golf clubs etc - so are the most exposed to the virus carried and spread by everyone else.

The virus uses the same logic as a credit card ... it will look up your Home address before attacking. If the address does not match, then it will stay dormant.

But where does that leave those who told us that the football match at Anfield and the Cheltenham Festival in March significantly contributed to the original spikes in those areas?
And both were essentially outdoors events ?
Do gatherings and parties etc; not contribute in the same way?

Thousands of strangers all crammed into a tight space shouting, screaming, sneezing, coughing and singing is a bit different don't you think.
It is going to be years before football fans will be allowed back in their previous numbers.

My understanding is that households at those few sorts of gatherings of up to 30 (that are allowed under the new regime) must still maintain social distancing...
