- The government wants children of key workers and those who are vulnerable to go back to school at once.

- People should aim to wear a face-covering in enclosed spaces where social distancing is not always possible.

- Those with jobs in food production, construction, manufacturing, logistics, distribution and scientific research in laboratories should return to the workplace.

July 4th has been announced as a preliminary date in which the 'third phase' of easing the lockdown could come into place, in which hairdressers, churches and cinemas could re-open.
