Coronavirus remains a serious threat across the country. Read the government advice on how the rules will change on 29 March:

• you will be able to meet outdoors either in a group of six (from any number of households), or in a group of any size from up to two households (each household can include existing support bubbles, if eligible)
• you will be able to take part in formally organised outdoor sports with any number of people (outdoor sports venues and facilities will be able to reopen)
• childcare and supervised activities will be allowed outdoors for all children
• formally organised parent and child groups will be able to take place outdoors for up to 15 attendees. Children under 5 will not be not counted in this number
