HANDS -  FACE -  SPACE - FRESH AIR

Stage 1 roadmap recovery plan from Monday 12 April

Social contact

The evidence shows that it is safer for people to meet outdoors rather than indoors. And this is why from 29 March, when most schools start to break up for the Easter holidays, outdoor gatherings (including in private gardens) of either 6 people (the Rule of 6) or 2 households will also be allowed, making it easier for friends and families to meet outside.

Business and activities

Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis and basketball courts, and open-air swimming pools, will also be allowed to reopen, and people will be able to take part in formally organised outdoor sports.

Changes from 12 April:

• non-essential retail will be able to reopen
• personal care premises such as hairdressers and nail salons will be able to reopen
• public buildings such as libraries and community centres will be able to reopen
• outdoor hospitality venues will be able to reopen, with table service only
• most outdoor attractions including zoos, theme parks, and drive-in performances (such as cinemas and concerts) will be able to reopen
• some smaller outdoor events such as fetes, literary fairs, and fairgrounds will be able to take place
• indoor leisure and sports facilities will be able to reopen for individual exercise, or exercise with your household or support bubble
• all childcare and supervised activities will be allowed indoors (as well as outdoors) for all children. Parent and child groups can take place indoors (as well as outdoors) for up to 15 people (children under 5 will not be counted in this number)
• weddings, civil partnership ceremonies, wakes and other commemorative events will be able to take place for up to 15 people (anyone working is not included in this limit), including in indoor venues that are permitted to open or where an exemption applies. Wedding receptions can also take place for up to 15 people but must take place outdoors, not including private gardens
• self-contained accommodation will be able to open for overnight stays in England with your household or support bubble
• you should continue to minimise the amount that you travel where possible
• care home residents will be able to nominate two named individuals for regular indoor visits (following a rapid lateral flow test)

Follow the Government guidelines. These include keeping 2 metres, about 6 feet (the “social distance”) or more from other people, this is vital in preventing the spread of this disease. The virus can be passed in water droplets exhaled from the mouth and nose, so keeping the “social distance” and wearing a face mask will help prevent the infection from spreading
