The Prime Minister said at yesterday’s press conference (March 29) he had not seen anything in the latest coronavirus data “that would cause us to deviate from the roadmap” but urged people to abide by the rules and “remain humble in the face of nature”.
As England eases out of lockdown this week (Monday 29 March) saw outdoor gatherings now permitted for up to six people, while on 12 April pubs and restaurants will reopen for outdoor service. Non-essential retail will also be able to reopen.
