The easing of coronavirus restrictions from today has been welcomed as a positive step to starting to rebuild our communities - but there are still fears people will be left isolated.
From today, people are allowed more freedom to mix inside homes - with one other household or the rule of six - while pubs, restaurants and cafes can welcome customers indoors.
