Retailers raring to go for reopening
Fashion retailers across England and Wales are raring to reopen later this month, but remain cautious that further lockdowns could be signalled.
As the coronavirus vaccination rollout continues, bricks-and-mortar retailers are preparing to spring back into life this month.
In England and Wales, non-essential retailers will be allowed to reopen on 12 April, marking the second stage of prime minister Boris Johnson’s four-part lockdown roadmap. All remaining coronavirus restrictions are ultimately set to be lifted on 21 June.
