LONDON: Non-essential retail shops, including shopping malls, pubs and restaurants and hairdressers are among the businesses gearing up to reopen their doors to customers from Monday, when England enters its next stage of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions being eased.
Indoor gyms, swimming pools, libraries, zoos and nail salons are also among the establishments now allowed to reopen, with pubs and restaurants required to strictly follow outdoor dining rules.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had declared that he would be among the first people to order a pint of beer in a beer garden when the rules are relaxed, a plan now quietly postponed due to the weeklong national mourning period following the death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
There is also unlikely to be an official statement from Downing Street to mark this next stage in the Coronavirus lockdown roadmap.
Meanwhile, retailers are hoping that customers will return to stores once again, having resorted to online shopping for months since the UK entered its second stay-athome lockdown in January.
