How to find out what tier you're in after lockdown
The last few weeks have likely dragged just a smidge (unless you're a key worker), what with England being in a second national lockdown (and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland respectively implementing their own restrictive measures to help slow and stop the spread of coronavirus). Now, the government have announced which regions, towns and cities will be in which of the three different tiers – so if you're wondering what tier you're in after lockdown ends on 2 December, wonder no more.
Firstly, let's just quickly recap the differences between tier 1, 2 and 3:
Tier 1: Medium
Follow the rule of six if meeting indoors or outdoors
Restaurants and pubs are to close at 11pm
Where possible, continue to work from home
Limited spectators can attend sporting events and performances
Personal care, including hairdressing, is allowed
Tier 2: High
Households cannot mix indoors and the rule of six applies to meeting outdoors
Pubs and restaurants to close at 11pm
Alcohol may only be served alongside a substantial meal
Limited spectators can attend sporting events and performances
Personal care, including hairdressing, is allowed
Tier 3: Very High
No households mixing allowed, either indoors or outdoors in a private garden or hospitality venue
The rule of six applies in public outdoor spaces, such as a park
Pubs and restaurants are closed/only available for takeaway
Indoor entertainment venues are shut
Guidance around travelling in and out of the area
Personal care including hairdressing is allowed

In order to find out what tier you're in, you can visit the GOV.UK website which has a postcode search tool available.
For some of the bigger cities, we've outlined the tiers they've been placed in below:
London is in Tier 2
Liverpool is in Tier 2
Manchester is in Tier 3
The government have said tier allocations will be reviewed 16 December, allowing for "the possibility of areas which continue to make progress in slowing the spread of the disease" to be moved down a tier ahead of Christmas.
