False - at least in the UK different households were not permitted to mix. So if grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins/etc lived in a different residence, well that is different households and no mixing was allowed. There goes a huge source of a lot of people's adhoc/emergency childcare options.

No mixing of groups of any size was allowed either.

There was some relaxing of this, but now we are seeing a second spike as obviously nothing has changed so people are back to infecting each other.
