What time is Boris Johnson announcing his lockdown roadmap?

Boris Johnson spoke to MPs in the House of Commons shortly after 3:30pm this afternoon to explain his roadmap out of the coronavirus lockdown.

The PM laid out his four-step plan to lead Britain back to normal life.

He has repeatedly stressed that lockdown will be eased cautiously, and he will be guided by “data not dates”.

What will Boris Johnson announce?

The PM has drawn up a four-step plan to lead Britain out of ­Covid lockdown ­­— with the whole country adjusting together.

The lockdown roadmap includes:

  • Schools will return from March 8 for all pupils – but kids will have to wear masks in classrooms at first
  • On March 8 two people from different households can also meet outside
  • From March 29 the rule of six returns outdoors
  • Outdoor sport will resume with golf and tennis courts back open
  • April 12 will see shops reopen for customers again
  • Gyms will then be allowed to reopen
  • Hairdressers and barbers will also reopen – along with nail salons
  • The stay local rules will be lifted from the end of April – meaning Brits will be able to go on a staycation with their family
  • In May, pubs and restaurants will be allowed to have indoor service again – with the rule of six or two households in place
  • Indoor activities like cinemas and bingo halls can reopen
  • From May two households will finally be able to mix indoors – and stay overnight
  • Nightclubs and theatres can finally reopen in June
