Earlier this month (March 8) schools returned to face-to-face education, and people were allowed to exercise with one person from outside of their family or support bubble.
From Monday, March 29, people will be given more freedom including being able to meet outdoors, play sport with friends outdoors and travel more freely.
Here are some of the key changes you can expect from Monday, and the things you will have to wait a little longer for.
