He said this morning: “At the moment, the focus is very much on the steady as she goes.
“Outdoor versus indoor, priority being children in schools, second priority is obviously allowing two people on March 8 to meet outside for a coffee to address some of the issues around loneliness, and of course mental health as well.
“And then March 29 is two families, or rule of six, coming together, and outdoor sporting activities as well.”
Mr Johnson has stressed the need to relax restrictions in a “cautious” manner, saying ahead of his address today: “Our priority has always been getting children back into school, which we know is crucial for their education as well as their mental and physical wellbeing, and we will also be prioritising ways for people to reunite with loved ones safely.”
