In his 10 May coronavirus press conference the Prime Minister confirmed that the planned Step 3 easements will go ahead on 17 May.
Infection rates are at their lowest level since September, while hospital admissions and patients in hospital continue to decrease - with levels now similar to July last year. Hospital admissions and cases of severe illness also remain in line with modelling provided by scientific experts for the Roadmap.
Therefore, from 17 May, the majority of the indoor and remaining outdoor economy can reopen, and gathering limits will increase indoors and outdoors. Guidance for close contact between friends and family will be updated, with people exercising their own personal judgement in line with the risks.
Although caution is still being urged, the Stay in the UK restriction will be lifted and people will be able to travel to green list countries, if they permit inbound travel.
Also from 17 May, indoor hospitality can reopen and indoor entertainment can resume, including cinemas, museums, and children’s play areas. All remaining outdoor entertainment can reopen, such as outdoor cinemas and performances. Some larger events will be able to take place, including conferences, theatre and concert performances, and sports events. Restrictions on the number of attendees will remain as set out in the Roadmap.
Additionally, up to six people or two households will be able to meet indoors and up to 30 people outdoors. The public can make informed, personal decisions on close contact, such as hugging, with their friends and family.
Step 4 is due to take place no earlier than 21 June. Further detail on Step 4 will be set out at the end of May.
