Cases of coronavirus across the UK are increasing by the day, now bringing the total number to 257,154. The death toll in the UK for deaths stands at 36,675 and the Government is continuing with lockdown measures for the foreseeable future.

The Government has now relaxed lockdown rules slightly, allowing for more time outdoors, some sports and even meeting another person from outside the household.

For all of these allowances, Boris Johnson reiterated social distancing must be observed.

Speaking from Downing Street last week, Mr Johnson explained from Monday, May 11, people who cannot work from home are being actively encouraged to go to work instead of being told to only go if they must.

But they should avoid public transport if at all possible.

From Wednesday, people are being encouraged to take unlimited amounts of outdoor exercise and even play sports, but only with members of their household.

Visiting and sunbathing in local parks will also be allowed as will driving to other destinations.

But social distancing rules will still have to be obeyed with bigger fines for those who break them.

Schools may begin to reopen by June 1 at the earliest along with the phased reopening of shops.

And at least some pubs, restaurants, hotels and other public places could begin to reopen in July at the earliest “if and only if the numbers support it”.
