[Gyms, libraries, zoos, museums and theme parks
You can only go to these indoor settings with
members of your own household,
but they will reopen on 12 April.

If they are outside, then you can go in
a group of six made up of two different households.]

17 May: Gatherings of up to 30 outside,
rule-of-six inside, weddings, funerals,
wakes resume,
alongside large-scale sports events/performances

The third step will begin no sooner than 17 May.

Socialising

Up to 30 people can meet up outdoors,
including in pub and restaurant gardens,
but any more than that is illegal.

Indoor social mixing allowed again,
but only up to six people or two households together.

Sport

Indoor exercise classes can resume, the PM says.

Large-scale sporting events or performances
will be allowed with up to 1,000 people indoors.

Outdoors, a capacity of up to 4,000 will
be allowed – or the venue being half full – whichever is lower.

Bigger football stadiums will be
allowed up to 10,000 fans - or a quarter
of capacity – whichever is lower.

Weddings, funerals, receptions, wakes

From 17 May, 30 people will be allowed
to attend weddings, receptions, funerals,
wakes and christenings.]

Monday 12 April: Non-essential shops, hairdressers,
beauty salons, gyms, libraries, zoos,
museums, pubs, restaurants and bars
to reopen – but outside only and with just your household]

[bots]

i think its a very measured plan, 6 weeks before pubs etc opening up means a good dollop of the population will have been vaccinated

12 April: Non-essential retail, hairdressers, nail salons, gyms and outdoor areas in hospitality venues (such as beer gardens) set to reopen - along with libraries, museums, zoos and theme parks. Self-contained accommodation will reopen, but people will only be able to stay with members of their household

• 17 May: Pubs, restaurants, cinemas, hotels, B&Bs and children's play areas set to open their doors once more, with fans allowed back into sporting events. Most rules on social contact outdoors will be lifted, while mixing of different households will be allowed indoors. Up to 30 people will be allowed at weddings, funerals, wakes, receptions and christenings

• 21 June: All legal limits on social contact set to be removed, with the remaining sectors of the economy reopened. Weddings are the only events where some restrictions may have to remain

Mr Johnson has already confirmed that all pupils will return to the classroom on 8 March.

Outdoor recreation with one other person will also be allowed from that date, meaning people can sit together in a park with a coffee, drink or picnic.

From 29 March, larger groups will be able to meet outside - including in private gardens - up to a maximum of six people or two households.

Tennis courts, golf courses and other outdoor sport facilities will also reopen on 29 March, which is the first Monday of the Easter holidays for most schools.

Jeremy Corbyn
Independent MP
was talking about the Dodgy Contracts that Hancock did.

[joeysteele]

Actually most of it is sensible.

Had he held schools off for a further 3 weeks, (I can't see the sense of them back for 3 weeks), that would have been a better route in my view.

I think all schools back in 2 weeks time, for 3 weeks is risky.
Too much so in my view.

However, I'll wait and see obviously.
No way do I think it wise to have all schools back however.

That's going to open more and more groups out in the community and in stores too.

I was expecting a staged return .. .. younger primary children initially then check the stats after two or three weeks to see what difference that makes

Plus I’ve no idea how we as a school ( using our own staff members) are supposed to test over 1,200 pupils and well over 100 staff ... TWICE weekly ... as well as continuing with all the lessons !?!?

Laura BBC
Asking 1st question


When will you say that Covid is over?

[Laura Kuenssberg from the BBC asks the PM - when will you be
prepared to say that 'this is over?' She also asks the scientists
about how many more deaths can we expect
when we relax rules.
She also asks what do they expect full vaccine uptake to be?

Mr Johnson says the roadmap takes us
on a one-way journey - and sets out his timetable to open
up once again,
and reiterates that he will be "guided by the science".

Prof Whitty says that talking about death numbers "isn't useful",
but says Covid will be added to the list of other
respiratory infections where deaths will continue to occur - and says this
will be a long-term problem, particularly in winter.

On vaccine uptake - Prof Whitty says vaccinating children is a
long way off, and says the priority is the adult groups.]
