It's Less Than 100 Days Until All Coronavirus Restrictions Are Eased In England

It's Less Than 100 Days Until All Coronavirus Restrictions Are Eased In England

Good times are coming

It's now officially less than 100 days until lockdown is completely over in England - if everything goes to plan.

The government roadmap to leaving lockdown states that by 21 June, everything should be near enough normal, provided cases continue to stay stable and decrease.

This means the return of not just pubs and restaurants, but also larger events, including clubs, festivals and gigs.

There's loads to look forward to, with people on Twitter giving a few examples of what they're planning to do when we have a bit more normality in our lives.

One person wrote: "Honestly anything other than grocery shopping and sitting in my house!"

Another was more cautious, saying: "Honestly, it's going to be a long and unpredictable road and not being a pessimist, but a realist I will be elated if by 21 July it's all gone without a hitch or set back or the need for one month later or more to reintroduce restrictions."

Someone else said: "Staying home as a treat."

The four-step roadmap was announced back in February, with the first step - schools reopening - already complete, as of 8 March.

And not only that but it's also less than a month until we can return to the beer garden in England, meaning we can have the overdue pint with our mates.

Under the government roadmap to leaving lockdown, outdoor hospitality will hopefully reopen on 12 April, meaning we're within touching distance of our first pub-bought drink of the year.

And by then British Summer Time will have officially kicked off, with the clocks going forward an hour on Sunday 28 March, meaning we'll all have an extra hour of daylight to really make the most of being sat outside with a pint or seven.

Step Two will commence from 12 April at the earliest, at which point outdoor hospitality, gyms, libraries, all retail, and outdoor attractions can reopen.

Step Three will begin no earlier than 17 May and will allow groups of up to 30 to meet outdoors, cinemas to reopen and organised indoor sport to recommence. International travel will also be be reviewed on this date.

Step Four will begin no earlier than 21 June, at which point there will be no legal limits on social contact, enabling nightclubs to reopen and large events to go ahead.
