Coronavirus: what you need to know

Everyone in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead takes the health and wellbeing of our residents, visitors and staff seriously. 

We’re working hard to ensure information on windsor.gov.uk is helpful, pertinent and as up to date as possible but we do ask that you check with individual attractions, accommodation providers, restaurants, shops, etc by calling them and checking their websites to make sure you have the very latest information.

We will keep this page updated and share news on our social channels so please follow VisitWindsor on Twitter and Facebook.

COVID-19: Omicron variant

From Friday 10 December face coverings will become compulsory in most public indoor venues, at large venues and events, and on public transport.  There will be exemptions in venues where it is not practical to wear one, such as when you are eating, drinking or exercising. For that reason, face masks will not be required in hospitality settings.  Please #DontLetYourGuardDown and remember hands, face, space is still important wherever you go.  You can read the Government's guidance on face coverings – including when to wear one, exemptions, and how to make your own – here.
