The roadmap out of lockdown is revealed

Schools and safely reuniting with loved ones are being prioritised in England's road map out of lockdown. Mr Johnson's been detailing his “cautious” approach for easing coronavirus restrictions in a speech to Parliament, confirming the reopening of schools on March 8 and the easing of some social restrictions. Our education editor Anna Davis says that's being welcomed by headteachers, although unions are concerned about the risk of staff catching the bug, and starting another cycle of infection.March 29th is when pubs and restaurants will be able to offer food and drink outdoors to groups of no more than six, but the Evening Standard's Jonathan Prynn says there isn't a date for when people will actually be able to go inside to have a meal or a pint. He also warns there doesn't appear to be much respite for the travel industry, with still no word on whether people should book a holiday for the summer. Hosted on Acast.
