Lockdown roadmap: When will gyms, hairdressers, schools, pubs and restaurants open?

Boris Johnson has confirmed England is still on course to exit lockdown according to a four-point plan spread over four months, finishing with all restrictions being lifted by 21 June at the earliest.

With more than 31 million people having received a vaccination programme, the prime minister said the latest Covid data did not give rise to any concern that the roadmap would have to be changed.

According to the guidelines, more businesses will be allowed to open at each five-week milestone, providing coronavirus data lines up with where it’s supposed to be, and infection rates are not likely to amount to surges in hospital admissions.

Here is the roadmap in full - but be warned future dates are subject to change.
