The Ending of LD3.0 is near!



with Boris Johnson addressing parliament today at 3:30pm he has received a new ease of lockdown plan taking place over the next few months.

Step-by-step

As part of the first step of the plan for easing lockdown in England:


  • From 8 March - All schools will open with outdoor after-school sports and activities allowed. Recreation in an outdoor public spaces - such as a park - will be allowed between two people, meaning they would be allowed to sit down for a coffee, drink or picnic

  • From 29 March - Outdoor gatherings of either six people or two households will be allowed. It is understood this will include gatherings in private gardens. Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis or basketball courts will reopen and organised adult and children's sport, such as grassroots football, will also return


Secondary school pupils can access tests and will be required to wear face coverings in classrooms and shared spaces like corridors.

The second step from 12 April would see major parts of the economy permitted to reopen:


  • Non-essential retail opens, hairdressers and public buildings like libraries and museums

  • Outdoor settings like alcohol takeaways, beer gardens, zoos and theme parks

  • Indoor leisure like swimming pools and gyms

  • Self-contained holiday accommodation, such as self-catering lets and camp sites


But wider social contact rules will continue to apply in all settings - meaning no indoor mixing between different households will be allowed.

Mr Johnson confirmed the end of hospitality curfews - and requirements to eat a substantial meal alongside alcohol.

He said a review of international leisure travel restrictions would be announced by 12 April at the earliest.

Funerals continue with up to 30 people, and weddings with up to 15 guests.

The third step will come from 17 May - if the data allows - and will see the "rule of six" abolished for outdoor gatherings, replaced with a limit of 30 people:


  • Two households can mix indoors - with the rule of six applied in hospitality settings like pubs

  • Cinemas, hotels, performances and sporting events reopen - though social distancing remains

  • Up to 10,000 spectators can attend the very largest outdoor seated venues like football stadiums


Up to 30 people will be able to attend weddings, receptions, funerals and wakes.

Mr Johnson said this step would also "consider the potential role of Covid status certification" - which could refer to so-called "vaccine passports" - in helping indoor venues to reopen safely.

The fourth step from 21 June will potentially see all legal limits on social contact removed, with the final closed sectors of the economy reopened - such as nightclubs.

The government hopes that - from this date - restrictions on weddings and funerals will also be abolished.


Providing these dates escape postponement in the next few months The Clipper will be able to start offering Outside service from 12th April 2020, Indoor service from 17th May, fully operational by 21st June. For the time being you can help keep The Clipper floating by ordering via just eat.
