This means that not only will pubs and restaurants reopen but festivals, concerts and other events with crowds will be able to go ahead without the law cracking down on them.

17 May will allow groups of 30 to meet outdoors, cinemas to open and indoor sports can restart. You can jet off on holiday too as international travel starts that day.
