More coronavirus restrictions will be eased on Monday (April 12) as part of the Government's roadmap out of lockdown.

The biggest changes are non-essential shops, hairdressers, gyms and swimming pools are allowed to open and pubs, cafés and restaurants can serve customers seated outside.

Here's what's changing:

• Indoor leisure, including gyms, can open for use individually or within household groups

• The rule of six or two households meeting outside still applies - there should be no mixing of households indoors

• Outdoor attractions, such as zoos, theme parks and drive-in cinemas can reopen

• Libraries and community centres can reopen

• Personal care premises can reopen

• All retail can open

• Hospitality can open outdoors

• All children's activities, indoor parent and child groups of up to 15 parents, can resume

• Domestic overnight stays and self-contained accommodation is open for separate households only - no mixing of households

• Up to 30 people can attend funerals and up to 15 can attend wakes, weddings and receptions

• No international holidays are allowed

This is stage two in the Government's four-part plan, with stage three - when most outdoor restrictions will be lifted and pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres , sport stadiums and other venues can reopen indoors - beginning no earlier than May 17.
