The government has recently published the ‘COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021,’ setting out the roadmap out of the current lockdown for England. This explains how the restrictions included in this guidance will be lifted over time. The information below is correct as of 12th April 2021.
Business and activities
From 12th April:
- non-essential retail 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
- 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
To reduce social contact, some businesses must remain closed or follow restrictions on how they provide goods and services. The full list of businesses required to remain closed can be found in the guidance on closing certain businesses and venues in England. There is further guidance on reopening businesses and venues which explains which business will be permitted to open at each step of the roadmap.
Travel
The ‘stay at home’ rule ended on 29th of March but some restrictions remain in place. You should continue to minimise the amount that you travel where possible. This means you should:
- avoid making unnecessary trips
- combine trips where possible
Staying away from home overnight
Self-contained accommodation will be able to open for overnight stays in England with your household or support bubble
International travel
All visitors to England are subject to the coronavirus restriction rules.
All those planning to travel to England should follow the guidance on entering the UK. Before travelling to the UK, you must complete a passenger locator form and have proof of a negative COVID-19 test, unless you are exempt.
Keeping yourself and others safe
Remember - ‘Hands. Face. Space.’
Approximately 1 in 3 people who have coronavirus have no symptoms and could be spreading it without realising it.
- hands – wash your hands regularly and for at least 20 seconds
- face – wear a face covering in indoor settings where social distancing may be difficult, and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet
- space – stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings)
In all circumstances, you should follow the guidance on meeting others safely.
