Today's the day most shops and other businesses can reopen, and national travel is being allowed, under the biggest easing of Covid-19 restrictions since the pandemic began:
Gatherings of up to 50 people indoors and 200 outdoors are permitted from today. This means weddings, funerals, sports events and conferences can go ahead within these limits
Close-contact sports, indoor gyms, swimming pools and other sports facilities can all reopen their doors from today, as can summer camps, creches, youth clubs and adult education facilities
In childcare, children will be grouped into pods of between six and 12 to reduce the risk of transmitting Covid-19
Employees are still advised to work from home where they can.
If you're on public transport or in a shop, or anywhere else social distancing can't be observed, please wear a mask.
