From the 17 May, the majority of the indoor and remaining outdoor economy can reopen, and gathering limits will increase indoors and outdoors. Guidance for close contact between friends and family will be updated, with people exercising their own personal judgement in line with the risks.

Given the data we have on the new variant - I think we should carry on and keep monitoring. The only thing that worries me is the poor hospitality industry if that if we open up and then get shut down again, its going to be even more devastating for pubs, restaurants etc.

Fingers crossed, the vaccine does its job,

for me im quite happy with what is open and what isnt open right now. I can happily cope with the current restrictions.

I will be ****ed off if the indian variation goes out of control and we end up in full lockdown 4.

So i think Monday needs to be cancelled until we know more about how the Indian variant is transmitting.

maybe slightly so i voted yes, there is a reason to be cautious but not to cause panic either

so maybe adjust some of relaxing measures slightly, with extra warnings for those who do open up

yes i didnt think of altering the mondays guidance as an option.
I should have put it in the poll.

they gather new metrics all the time, but there is absolutely no evidence that the indian variant is any more of a threat than the uk variant, the vaccine is still effective, we have no pressure on hospital beds ... so i'm all for opening up.

Over the last week, there were zero new infections in my area. It's completely unfair to business to not open up again given those circumstances

Voted no but actually I've changed my mind. Also happy with things staying as they are for a bit longer

It could be at 5PM
18 and over to get Vaccines
in some Zones.

Yesterday it was said in some Towns they were to allow over 18 year olds
Then it was reversed?
