One person can also meet another from a different household outside for recreation and not just exercise from Monday, as part of the roadmap for lifting lockdown.

COVID catch-up plan for pupils
Students have spent months learning remotely and those returning to secondary schools will find additional safety measures including face coverings in classrooms and rapid coronavirus tests.

Some scientists have raised concerns the increased levels of interaction could push the reproduction number – the R value – above 1, causing coronavirus to spread faster.
But Boris Johnson has said he is “very hopeful” the return of pupils will go to plan as he warned the risk of keeping classrooms locked outweighed a school-led spike in COVID-19 cases.
The prime minister said: “I think the risk is actually in not going back to school (on Monday) given all the suffering, all the loss of learning we have seen.”
