The BBC understands that the changes in the guidelines will mean two people from different households would be able to meet while sitting more than two metres apart in a park, and also that sports like golf, tennis, fishing and outdoor watersports will now be possible for people in the same household.

ITV and Sky have said they have been briefed the same

Interesting.

There's nothing in the transcript of the speech about people from different households being able to meet as long as they stay 2 metres apart.

It's also amazingly confusing and vague.

I can go for a walk with my 10yo daughter. No change there.

I can now go (alone) and meet someone from a different household as long as I apply social distancing and keep at least 2m from them.

But I can't go for a walk with my 10yo daughter and meet a friend and their 10yo daughter, despite applying social distancing as that's more than 1 person from each household.

But, I could go and meet a friend from a different household and keep 2m from them.

And, independently, my daughter could go for a very similar walk and meet her friend (who just happens to be the daughter of my friend) from a different household and keep 2m from them.

And we could just happen to meet up in roughly the same place. What a coincidence!
