“LIMITED” and “cautious” changes to lockdown measures will take effect from Monday to allow up to six people to meet outdoors in England, Boris Johnson announced today.

But members of different households still need to stay two metres apart, while being allowed in each others’ gardens and other private outdoor spaces.

Mr Johnson said that mixing with several different households in quick succession should be avoided, and that people should not be inside other people’s homes unless it is to access the garden.
