Lockdown 3 started shortly after New Year and in the last month, a step by step reopening plan was announced, with the rule of six being reintroduced today (Monday, 29 March).
We have compiled a list of what can and can’t be done with the first stage of relaxing the rules.
What you can do:

Meet up in groups of six in outdoor spaces, including gardens (this is two households or six people). Guests can use the inside bathroom or walk through the house to get to the garden
Outdoor sport can resume- there is no limit on people meeting for organised team sport as long as they are playing
Tennis and basketball courts and open air swimming pools are allowed to open
The stay at home has been lifted meaning people can go out for non-essential reasons
You can travel anywhere in England- but no overnight stays or indoor activities
It is suggested people stay local still
What you can’t do:
Go to the pub- beer gardens should open in the next step no earlier than April 12
Hug people outside of your household or bubble
Go on holiday abroad or within your own country
Stay overnight at someone’s house
Be inside someone’s house for anything other than to use the bathroom or to get to the garden
