<p>The latest evidence indicates that the COVID-19 infection rate is beginning to
rise across the country. It is therefore now vitally important that the Government
takes decisive action to limit any further spread and reduce the likelihood of a further
national lockdown of the type that was necessary earlier this year. These measures
were announced last week with clear guidance on what would change.</p><p>The rule
of six does not apply to gatherings necessary for work. Non-professional performing
arts activity, including choirs, orchestras or drama groups can legally continue to
rehearse or perform together where this is planned activity in line with the performing
arts guidance and if they can do so in a way that ensures that there is no interaction
between groups of more than six at any time.</p><p>If an amateur group is not able
to ensure that no mingling takes place between these sub-groups of no more than six
(including when arriving at or leaving activity or in any breaks or socialising) then
such non-professional activity should not take place.</p><p> </p>
