Yeah, and also if they ask for your ID and you're miles away from home "exercising", it's hard to justify. I mean, you can even go to the supermarket several times a day now, it's just trying to be responsible, of course you can cheat and do whatever you want, Kala.

Exercise within a 1 km radius from your address here!

I never visited myself but a bit of googling shows that it's one of the buildings at the main entrance, not a mausoleum, which one might think. dios mios!

I guess because since Monday kids are allowed to go out and some people are stupid.

I was wondering if it was down to more testing, but I don’t think that would make it almost double in a day.
 
We're now 5th in the world for cases (I expect we will overtake france in the few days too) and second in the world for deaths. Yay!
 
Yeah I wonder where they got that 5000 figure? And if the FT will challenge it. The BBC certainly aren’t.
 
Ireland have set out a detailed plan for lifting restrictions. I'm guessing we will follow a similar route with possibly tighter restrictions. Nice to see some form of timeline anyway.



The first phase begins on May 18th
In this early stage, up to four people not of the same household will be able to meet outdoors while maintaining strict social distancing. Funerals will still be a maximum of ten people. Outdoor workers in construction can return including gardeners and those working on allotments. But remote working will remain in place for the vast majority of businesses. Garden centres and hardware stores can reopen as well as opticians, bike repairs and phone repairs. Tennis courts and golf courses can reopen but social distancing will apply.


The second phase begins on June 8th
In this phase, people will now be permitted to travel up to 20km but will be advised to avoid all unnecessary journeys. Over 70s will be allowed to shop at specific hours. Visits to homes of over 70s will be permitted by no more than a few people for a short period of time and they must wear gloves, face coverings, maintaining strict 2m social distancing.

For everyone else, up to four people may visit another household for a short period of time while maintaining strict social distancing. In terms of funerals, slightly larger numbers of people can be in attendance at funerals but they will still be restricted to immediate family and close friends. There will be a “phased return” of other workers during this time but businesses that can maintain remote working will be asked to do so. Small retail outlets and marts can reopen.

The third phase begins on June 29th
Travel restrictions will remain at 20km. Cafes and restaurants that can adhere to social distancing guidelines will re-open. Creches will be re-opened for the children of essential workers. Hospital visits may resume. Businesses will be asked to continue with remote working where possible. There will be a phased reopening of non-essential retail outlets on the basis of restriction on the number of staff and customers per square metre so that social distancing can be maintained. This will be limited to retail outlets with street-level entrance and exit i.e. which are not in enclosed shopping centres due to higher risk. Playgrounds will be reopened where social distancing and hygiene can be maintained. Some “behind closed doors” sporting activities will be permitted. Public transport will remain restricted.

The fourth phase begins on July 20th
In this phase, people can now travel outside their region. A slightly larger number of people may visit another household for a short period of time while maintaining social distancing. Small social gatherings by family and close friends will be limited to a maximum number of attendees for a limited period of time where social distancing can be maintained. Creches for all other workers will reopen but only for one a day a week to start with. Businesses will be asked to stagger work hours. Hairdressers and barbers may re-open as well as museums, galleries, religious places of worship. Hotels and hostels will re-open on limited occupancy. Hotel bars will remain closed. Restrictions will be decreased on public transport.


The last phase begins on August 10th
Pubs, bars, nightclubs and casinos will re-open where social distancing can be complied with. Festivals and other cultural gatherings may begin. Large weddings will still be restricted due to risk. Normal visiting will resume in hospitals. A phased return to normal work will start around this time. Shopping centres will re-open as well as theatres and cinemas that can maintain social distancing. Close physical contact sports like rugby, boxing and wrestling will be permitted. Gyms can re-open where there is regular and effective cleaning.
 
It’s behind a firewall, but the FT published an exclusive this evening:

UK offices set to remain closed for months
Office workers across the UK longing to return to their workplaces are set to have their hopes dashed by ministers preparing details of how to ease the nation’s lockdown.

White-collar employers will be expected to keep most staff working from home for several months to prevent public transport from being overwhelmed, senior government figures said.

That plan posted by @Logic? sounds AWFUL. This is going to go on for fucking ages, isn’t it? Mmm.. loving the idea of going to a pub and maintaining 2m distancing :)
 
I think it is sadly only going to leave pubs with huge capacity the ability to open. SHITHOUSES like fucking Wetherspoons etc. How on earth can you social distance in a pub? And wont that just go out of the window after a couple?

Its a depressing read, truly is.
