<\/p>\n

Outdoor sports<\/h2>\n

You can play outdoor team sports and activities such as tennis and golf from today, meaning groups of more than six can meet for this reason.<\/p>\n

Tennis and basketball courts are allowed to reopen, along with open-air swimming pools.<\/p>\n

Brits can also start taking part in formally organised outdoor sporting events like amateur football leagues.<\/p>\n

The FA writes on its website: "On Monday 29 March, as part of the next stage of the Government\u2019s roadmap out of national lockdown, outdoor sports facilities can open, and organised outdoor football can take place."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Weddings<\/h2>\n

Weddings were banned under the previous restrictions unless there were "exceptional circumstances" involved.<\/p>\n

This caveat, however, has now been lifted, with couples allowed to meet in front of up to six guests.<\/p>\n

It is\u00a0hoped an unlimited number of guests\u00a0will be allowed from June 21 as all restrictions are scrapped, but the PM stressed this will be reviewed nearer the time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Funerals<\/h2>\n

Up to 30 people are allowed to attend a funeral – either inside or outside – under the current rules.<\/p>\n

Only six people can attend the wake, although this must not take place in a private home.<\/p>\n

The number of people who can actually attend a funeral may also be restricted by Covid measures such as social distancing.<\/p>\n

Households & bubbles<\/h2>\n

Up to two households are allowed to meet outside – even if there are more than six people between them. <\/p>\n

This means two families of four could get together and meet as a group of eight if they only share two homes. <\/p>\n

If you are eligible to form a\u00a0support bubble, you and your support bubble count as one household towards the limit when meeting outdoors. <\/p>\n

This means you and your support bubble could meet with another household, even if the group is more than six people.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Parent and children groups<\/h2>\n

Outdoor parent and child groups can resume from today.<\/p>\n

A maximum of 15 people, not counting those aged under five, will be permitted to meet for outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

For example, people can socialise in parent and child walking groups.<\/p>\n

Schools and offices<\/h2>\n

Schools and nurseries are allowed to accommodate more than six people.<\/p>\n

Gatherings of more than six people are also allowed at workplaces.<\/p>\n

Health Secretary Matt Hancock previously said this exemption was due to the need to "get through" the pandemic with minimal impact.<\/p>\n
