Boris Johnson urged everyone to “behave responsibly”

Since the roadmap began, at the start of March schools reopened and care home residents could have one regular visitor, while at the end of March outdoor sport and leisure resumed and the rule of six returned, allowing families and friends to see each other again outdoors in parks and private gardens.

Now, on April 12 the second stage of the roadmap out of lockdown will come into force, with more businesses reopening and allowing more normality to come back.

The Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the roadmap is “irreversible” meaning he has said there will be no more lockdowns after the roadmap is complete.

The Prime Minister urged caution during the “major step forward” as a scientist advising the Government warned the rules must be followed to minimise a possible rebound in case numbers.

This week, shops will be able to extend their opening hours from 7am to 10pm from Monday to Saturday, to help customers avoid peak times and to ease the pressure on transport.
