The Prime Minister says non-essential shops can only start trading again on April 12 at the earliest - subject to a continued reduction in the Covid figures.
Pubs, bars and restaurants will be allowed to reopen at the same time, but only serving customers outdoors. It will be another five weeks at least before they can trade indoors.
