    8th March - schools back in

    29th March - outdoor organised sport (tennis, 5-a-side, basketball, etc) - end of "Stay at home"

    12th April - Nonessential retail, indoor gyms + pools, holiday lets (individual households), pubs and restaurants outdoors (no curfew and no need for 'substantial meal' with alcohol), libraries

    17th May - 30 people can meet up outside, Rule-of-6/Two-families can meet indoors in a pub, Fans back in stadiums (possibly limited capacity though), Cinemas, Theatres (Again, possible capacity limits)

    21st June - hopefully the final stage of relaxations

    5 weeks between each stage (if you ignore 29th March when most schools will break for Easter, although my daughter's school finishes 31st March) - 4 weeks for the effect to be seen in the figures (tests -> hospitalisations -> deaths) and 1 week advance notice

  • Interesting that the final step is before the planned finish of adult vaccinations. Maybe they expect takeup to have fallen away by then given how it is starting to drop as the cohorts get younger.
    The jump in the last couple of steps seems a bit optimistic to me - 5 weeks after you can meet friends in a pub for the first time to full-blown bangface events. Let's hope we get close to it though.

  • this timeline seems so weird still, so basically I cant see my parents (otherside of the country) until May?

  • my daughter's school finishes 31st March

    1st April for mine.

    29th March - outdoor organised sport ... end of "Stay at home"

    I've just made a note in my diary the week before to book a swim for the 29th.
