England entered Step Three of the government’s roadmap on May 17, allowing for pubs and restaurants to reopen indoors, indoor performances to take place, and groups of six people or two households to mix indoors.

Additionally, people can now hug each other once again, the ban on overseas holidays has been lifted for “green list” countries, overnight stays are allowed, face masks are no longer needed in secondary school classrooms, university students have now returned to in-person teaching, and cinemas and theatres have reopened. 

The rule of 30 at funerals was also dropped on May 17, with venues assessing how many people can fit in indoor and outdoor spaces with social distancing in place.

The easing of restrictions coincide with the alert level in the UK being lowered from Level 4 to Level 3.
