The UK government has set out a three-stage plan to ease the 'lockdown' restrictions implemented due to COVID-19. The first stage commenced on 13 May, with some restrictions on who can go to work being lifted and clarified, the ability to meet one other person from another household outside, and the allowance of unlimited exercise. It is expected that the second stage, involving the reopening of 'non-essential retail shops', could be implemented from 15 June. In anticipation of this, the government has issued guidance on how to safely re-open shops.
