Northern Ireland is taking its next gradual steps out of Covid lockdown from Thursday, while Wales has set out fresh dates for its own easing of restrictions. Outdoor hospitality, including cafes, pubs and restaurants, could reopen from Monday April 26. The easing of hospitality restrictions will be confirmed alongside the reopening of outdoor attractions, including funfairs and theme parks, at an April 22 review of restrictions. After May 17, considerations could be made to enable indoor hospitality and remaining visitor accommodation to reopen in advance of the spring bank holiday. There will be a minimum of five weeks between each step of easing restrictions in England to allow for coronavirus-related data to be assessed against four tests:1.
