Over the weekend, the Government released a statement confirming that visits to second homes, campsites, caravan parks etc. do not constitute essential travel. They advise people to stay in their primary residence to limit pressure on services.

The statement follows Friday’s announcement of business support measures including extending the interest-free period on the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme and cash flow support via the tax system including the deferral of VAT payments. Further details to support this have been launched today. In addition, a dedicated Government website that collates information on the support available for businesses is now available.
