<p>On 4 January the Prime Minister announced that new national restrictions would
come into effect the following day in England to help stem the spread of coronavirus
and the new variant strain of the virus. Guidance on the national restrictions advise
that people should only leave home for a limited number of reasons and that people
should travel to work only where it is unreasonable for you to do your job from home.
We have updated the Performing Arts Guidance to be clear that during this period all
amateur activity including amateur choirs and orchestras, cannot take place.</p><p>We
are committed to moving to stage 5 of the performing arts roadmap, for both professional
and amater activity, as soon as it is safe to do so. However we have always been clear
that the activity permitted would be in line with the latest public health context.</p><p>
