“From Monday six people can meet outside in gardens and other private outdoor spaces,” says Prime Minister Boris Johnson – as he explains how the Government plans to ease the lockdown.
It comes as the test and trace system has been launched today (Thursday) despite delays in rolling out the coronavirus app across the country.
Speaking at the daily news briefing Mr Johnson said:
“From Monday, up to six people will be able to meet outside as long as those from different households remain two metres apart.
“People will also be allowed to meet in gardens and other private outdoor spaces”
The Prime Minister said people should not be inside the homes of their friends and families – unless it is to access gardens.
Mr Johnson added that those who are being asked to shield themselves should continue to do so.
37,837 people have now died with coronavirus, which is an increase of 377 deaths since yesterday (Wednesday).
