Meetings inside the houses are again allowed, with a limit of up to six persons or groups of a maximum of two households.
Indoor recreation is making a comeback as well, with cinemas, sports, and indoor seating in pubs and restaurants reopening.
But what does that mean for stores in England?
This is what a trip to a retail therapy venue would look like starting May 17.
What Covid Guidance Is There For Buyers?
Although shoppers can theoretically go on a spending spree with up to five other people, a trip to the stores won’t look the same as it did before the pandemic.
The guidance for social distancing will remain in place (although the ‘1 meter plus rule’ is expected to be dropped as of June 21), and stores will retain the floor markings that many have used to give to shoppers. Clients an idea of the space should be left to each other when queuing, for example.
Stores will also continue to operate at reduced capacities, so you may have to queue outside and wait for in-store numbers to drop before you are allowed to enter.
According to the Mirror, a store’s Covid-19 guide should be clearly displayed at the entrance, and shoppers are advised to familiarize themselves with the current measures before entering.
Face masks will continue to be required by law in stores, unless you are exempt or have a reasonable excuse.
Will the changing rooms be open?
Changing rooms can be reopened where it is safe to do so, if an individual store can operate them under safe Covid conditions with concessions made for social distancing.
This is at the discretion of the store, and stores that choose to open their fitting rooms may adopt a limited-entry approach, using a one-on-one rule, except when customers require specific assistance.
Use may be limited to individual cubicles within fitting room areas and only alternate cubicles can be opened. The government says that all-purpose fitting rooms must remain closed.
What else can I open?
Outdoor stadiums will be able to host live events with a maximum number of 4,000 attendees, or for large venues with outdoor seating where crowds can disperse, up to 10,000.
Meetings inside the houses are again allowed, with a limit of up to six persons or groups of a maximum of two households.
Indoor recreation is making a comeback as well, with cinemas, sports, and indoor seating in pubs and restaurants reopening.
In addition to removing the 10pm curfew, a substantial meal will not be required for patrons to enjoy a pint, but they must order, eat, and drink while seated to avoid queues at the bar.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson also confirmed that from next Monday, hugs between people from different households in England will be allowed for the first time in months.
Travel to a handful of approved “green list countries”, including Portugal, will be allowed without self-quarantine, as long as travelers undergo a post-arrival test.
