The Welsh Government has given us an indication of what the minimal changes to the lockdown will look like on Monday.

First Minister Mark Drakeford said that Garden centres will be allowed to re-open in Wales on Monday, and also confirmed that people will be able to exercise more than once a day in Wales, but also warned it was “too soon” to take further action.

Libraries and recycling centres are among institutions who have been asked to begin planning how to safely reopen.

Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon giving her daily press conference said that she spoke to the Prime Minister yesterday and said that Scotland’s lockdown would remain in place.

She says the only change considering in the immediate term is outdoor exercise, and she will give an update on that over the weekend.

The Cabinet will meet on Sunday to agree a “roadmap” for lifting the lockdown which will be revealed by the Prime Minister in a televised address to the nation later that evening.

He will also set out a rough timetable for when key measures will be lifted, such as schools and shops reopening, but will describe tough “milestones” that must be reached before he can give them the green light.
