That said though, whilst Bristol and North Somerset were lucky enough to be downgraded from Tier 3 to Tier 2, come the tiering reviews on 30th December I am expecting(though not wishing) that they'll be upgraded back to Tier 3 again! Because cases and infection rates are rising again. It looks like they'll both be over 200 per 100,000 again by then, and that may be over the threshold as being allowed to be in Tier 2!
A Hot Yoga studio I used to goto in Bristol a few years, I still receive email news updates from. They have had to close(again!!) from last month. But as Bristol is back in Tier 2 again, they say they will be opening again after the Christmas break on 29th December. Wouldn't be too surprised if due to the tiering review, that come 30th December they'll send another email saying they have to close again from New Year's Eve or New Year's Day until further notice! Barely a day or so after they re-opened! All these businesses having to keep opening and closing every few weeks(or indeed less) due to this crazy lockdown system the government has implemented, is not doing them any good atall.
