In step two, which will begin no earlier than 1 June, nurseries and primary schools will begin a phased return beginning with early years, reception, and years one and six. Some businesses will be able to reopen and sporting events will be able to take place behind closed doors

In step three, which will start no earlier than 4 July, more businesses will be able to open - although some, which are crowded by design, will not be able to open. The aim is to reopen businesses such as hairdressers and beauty salons
