Step 2 April 12 at the earliest Reopening of the following venues: Non-essential shops Personal care premises - hairdressers and nail salons Public buildings - libraries and museums Most outdoor attractions and settings also reopen including hospitality, zoos and theme parks. Wider social contact rules will apply in all these settings. You wouldn’t be able to have indoor mixing between households. So hairdressers/library/museum - only go with members of own household. Indoor leisure - gyms and swimming pools - will also reopen but only for people going on their own or with own household. Hospitality reopening but for outdoors purposes only. Restaurant is tables outside only; likewise pubs gardens only. In line with rules on social contact. So 2 households or Rule of 6 when meeting friends in a beer garden. Not going back to need to order a substantial meal with alcohol - and no curfews either. Customers will, however, have to be seated when they order food or drink. Self contained accommodation - campsites and holiday lets where indoor facilities not shared with other households - can also reopen. Can stay in a self catering cottage but only with own household. Funerals can continue with up to 30 people. Wedding receptions and commemorative events - number rises from six to 15.
Step 3 May 17 at the earliest Easing limits on social contact more. Outdoors, most social contact rules lifted. Two household/rule of six requirements will go at that point. But gatherings of over 30 people in a park/garden etc will remain outlawed. Indoor mixing will be allowed again. Indoors, rule of six or a larger group from up to two households can meet indoors - but this will be kept under review to see if safe to go further. Inside of pubs and restaurants open at this point along with entertainment such as cinemas, children’s play areas, accommodation (hotels and B&Bs) and indoor adult sports groups and exercise classes. If meeting friends in pub, it’s rule of six or two households. But those restrictions are removed if you’re in the beer garden. Performances/sporting events: Making some changes in Step 3. Larger performances and sporting events in indoor events with capacity of 1,000 or half full (whichever smaller) will be allowed. Outdoors, capacity of 4,000 people allowed, or half full, again whichever is smaller. Largest outdoor seated venues e.g. biggest football stadiums, up to 10,000 people will be able to attend - or a quarter full, whichever is lower. So 10k can go to Wembley Stadium. Up to 30 people able to attend weddings, receptions and wakes as well as funerals and other life events permitted including Bar Mitzvahs and christenings.
Step 4 June 21 at the earliest Hoping all of the legal limits on social contact can be removed and hope to reopen those final closed sectors of the economy, some of which didn’t open last summer - e.g. nightclubs. Hoping to lift restrictions on large events and performances that applied in previous step. Also hope to make a decision on whether all limits can be removed on weddings and other life events.

Looks to be a 25% max attendance or 10% of stadium size - whichever is lower, so we could get 8000 fans in for a home play off game if we get in them. The egg chasers will get back into the ground before City fans.
Well, it's a plan, which feels better than no plan at all, and it looks like it might be achievable in terms of getting on top of the virus. I hope industry can survive that long. Just pray for no setbacks between now and June 21.
June? It's April the 12th that's the key one. Followed by the 13th, which is to be renamed the Dawn of the Dead.
