Monday marks the next stage in the government s roadmap out of lockdown and the easing of coronavirus restrictions.
April 12 will see a range of businesses given the green light to re-open, as long as they abide by restrictions such as the rule of six.
All non-essential retail will be able to open their doors to shoppers, hairdressers, beauty salons, barbers and other personal care businesses will also be able to welcome back customers.
Pubs, restaurants and cafes will be able to serve customers outside where possible. This time there is no requirement for a substantial meal to be served alongside alcohol and no curfew, though only table service will be permitted and the rule of six still applies.
