Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke to the nation this evening (Monday) to confirm what we will be able to do from next Monday - May 17 - as lockdown rules ease still further.

Having friends to your house and drinking inside a pub, rather than outdoors, are among the changes coming next week, reports the BBC News website.

Meeting up

• People can meet in groups of up to 30 outdoors
• Six people or two households can meet indoors, with overnight stays allowed
• Up to 30 people can attend weddings, receptions and other life events
• Number of people who can attend a funeral no longer capped, but determined by the size of venue
• Up to 30 allowed to attend a support group or parent-and-child group (not counting under fives)
• Care home residents allowed up to five named visitors, and more freedom for visits out of the home
• Social distancing with close family and friends will be a matter of personal judgement. But people are asked to remain cautious around close contact, like hugging.

Social distancing will remain in place in social care, medical, retail, hospitality and business settings
