Roadmap out of lockdown
A 4-step plan to ease lockdown in England has been announced.
From 8 March
Pupils return to face-to-face education in school and further education in England. Pupils in Wales and Scotland returned on 22 February. Wraparound childcare, such as after-school clubs, can reopen to enable parents to work, attend education, access medical care or attend a support group.
Outdoor recreation, such as a picnic, is allowed. This can be on your own, with one other person, or with your household or support bubble.
Indoor visits to care homes start again for a single named visitor.

Stay at home
You must stay at home.
Coronavirus (COVID‑19) is spreading fast.
Do not leave your home unless necessary.
1 in 3 people who have the virus have no symptoms, so you could be spreading it without knowing it.
Testing & the vaccine
The NHS is coordinating the Covid-19 vaccination. When it's your turn the NHS will invite you for your vaccine. We kindly ask that you do not call your GP, local hospital or other NHS service.
- More information can be found on the NHS website
Clinically vulnerable & mental health
The clinically extremely vulnerable will get priority access to vaccination against COVID-19 before the general population and in line with the priority ordering set by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). You will be contacted again by the NHS with more information on when and how you will be invited to get the vaccine. Please see the NHS website for more information about booking a test.
If you need mental health support please see our mental health information where you can find a wealth of information from mental health wellbeing guides to mental health safety plans.
Business Support
All non-essential businesses must close due to a new national lockdown. Further information on support will be added as more information becomes available.
