Restaurants and pubs will also be able to serve customers indoors, while theatres, concert halls, business conference centres and sports stadia will be able to reopen. 

Groups of up to 30 people can now also meet outside and everyone can travel within Britain and stay overnight. 

It comes as deaths and hospitalisations from Covid-19 are at their lowest since last July.
