A 4-step plan to ease lockdown in England has been announced by the Government.

From 8 March

Pupils return to face-to-face education in school and further education in England. Pupils in Wales and Scotland returned on 22 February. Wraparound childcare, such as after-school clubs, can reopen to enable parents to work, attend education, access medical care or attend a support group.

Outdoor recreation, such as a picnic, is allowed. This can be on your own, with one other person, or with your household or support bubble.

Indoor visits to care homes start again for a single named visitor.

Read the current rules and the changes happening from 8 March.

Further information on what can be done from 8 March is available here: Roadmap for Stages 1 &2 and Roadmap for Stages 3&4.
