The Covid19 Roadmap is on track and planned Step 3 easements will go ahead on 17 May, the Prime Minister has confirmed.
The data shows that the government’s “four tests” for easing restrictions have been met.
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.
