The Prime Minister has announced a 4-step plan to ease lockdown, starting from 8 March.
Step 2, no earlier than 12 April will allow non-essential retail and personal care services such as hairdressers, barbers and nail salons to reopen, as well as indoor leisure facilities, such as gyms and swimming pools - but only for use by people on their own or with their household.
Hospitality venues can serve people outdoors only. There will be no need for customers to order a substantial meal with alcohol, and no curfew - although customers must order, eat and drink while seated. Self-contained accommodation, such as holiday lets, where indoor facilities are not shared with other households, can also reopen.
We'll continue to update this page with all the latest news and how it might affect your business, so please do bookmark this page and check back.
