What you can and cannot do under the new UK coronavirus lockdown rules
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's new lockdown measures come into place on Wednesday.
Under the new rules, English people will have new freedoms to exercise, relax, and meet others outdoors, while some workplaces and non-essential businesses will be up-and-running again. Previously, people were advised to do just one piece of exercise outdoors per day — though this was never put into law.
Exercise restrictions have also been loosened in Scotland and Wales where people will be able to exercise more than once a day. However, golf courses and other sporting venues are not currently due to re-open.People will, as of today, be able to drive to elsewhere in England to exercise and partake in leisure activity outdoors.
This new rule is set to affect people in industries like construction, manufacturing, and food production.
