On April 12, non-essential services such as hairdressers can open and libraries can reopen. You can go to the zoo, amusement park, swimming pool, gym again.
From May 17, they will be able to meet six people (or members of two households) indoors as well, and restrictions on outdoor meetings will be lifted as soon as possible. Hotels will also open on this day.
If all goes well, the entire economy can open on June 21 and all other restrictions can be lifted.
The UK government has set up a four-point criteria system, and all four conditions must be met before any further steps can be taken to ease restrictions. This means that unlocking can continue if
- The vaccination program continues successfully,

- If current infection rates do not threaten to increase the number of patients requiring hospital treatment to an extent that would put an unsustainable strain on the NHS,
- Or if there is no new virus variant that radically changes the risk assessment.
