People have been urged to use common sense and enjoy regained freedoms safely as more coronavirus restrictions are eased from today.
As of today, pubs and restaurants can serve customers indoors – and indoor entertainment venues, such as cinemas and museums, can also open.
People can also mix in homes, so long as they stick to two households or the rule of six .
Infection rates in the county remain mostly below the England average, with all areas other than West Suffolk recording a rate lower than 20 cases per 100,000.
