From Monday, June 1, there are a limited number of things you will be able to do in England that you could not do before:

- in line with the arrangements made by your school, send your child to school or nursery if they are in early years, reception, year 1 or year 6, if you could not before

- if you are an elite athlete as defined by this guidance, train and compete using the specified gyms, pools and sports facilities you need - which will, in the coming weeks, we hope enable others to watch live sport on TV

At all times, you should continue to adhere to strict social distancing guidelines when you are outside your home, particularly ensuring you are two metres away from anyone outside your household.

You cannot:

- visit friends and family inside their homes

- stay overnight away from your own home, except for in a limited set of circumstances, such as for work purposes
