In an announcement made today (Monday 22 February), Boris Johnson has released a phased plan to ease lockdown restrictions.

After a two-month long lockdown, Boris Johnson has announced a 'cautious, and irreversible' plan to exit lockdown in the coming months. He's expected to hold a news conference this evening (19:00), further detailing the plans.

Key Dates & Information

Under the new roadmap, Boris has underlined a number of key dates.

  • All schools in England are set to re-open on the 8 March, and outdoor socialising with one other person will be permitted.

  • On the 29 March, up to six people or two households will be allowed to meet outdoors. And outdoor sports facilities will reopen.

  • Shops, hairdressers, gyms and outdoor hospitality will be allowed to open from the 12 April.

  • From 17 May, indoor hospitality including pubs, bars and restaurants will be able to re-open their doors (two households may mix indoors). The 'rule of six' will be abolished, and replaced by a maximum gathering of 30. At this point, cinemas, hotels, performances and sporting events will also be able to begin opening.

  • All measures are set to end on the 21 June.
