Team sports will resume and friends and families will be able to meet outdoors from Monday in a major easing of England's coronavirus lockdown rules. Outdoor sports facilities can reopen and groups of up to six, or two households, can socialise in parks and gardens once more, after the stay-at-home order ended. "Despite today's easements, everyone must continue to stick to the rules, remember hands, face, space, and come forward for a vaccine when called," he added. He is expected to urge the public to take personal responsibility by sticking to the restrictions as he holds a Downing Street press conference. Organised team sports can also resume outdoors, meaning grassroots competitions can take place ahead of the Easter break without the need for social distancing.
