Dating Tips for Tier-two (High alert)
Go for walk in the park: Couples can go for walk in the park or drink in a pub garden and spend time together in tier-two regions as long as they are in the same social bubble and maintain social distancing.
Use safe transportation: The journey matters too! Always endeavor to use safe transportation when going on dates. Avoid crowded locations and peak bus times. Walk, bike, or drive when you can as this gives you control over your environment while journeying to meet your date.
Dating tips for Tier-one (Medium alert)
Embrace the mask: Regions in tier-one can now go out, have dates and meet friends in groups of six but wearing a mask is still a norm, especially in indoor public settings such as the cinema, restaurants, and pubs. So make sure you and your date wear a mask unless either or both of you have an exemption.
Avoid kissing on dates: People in tier-one are more likely to get physically when on dates. You might want to have a second thought about this since some people can have COVID-19 without showing symptoms. Although it might be okay to do this with a partner you live with or in the same social bubble.
Maintain social distancing: Even though you can go on dates now, you are still required to maintain the social distancing rule unless you’re both from the same household or the same support bubble.
