In a Commons statement, the Prime Minister said “self-contained accommodation, including hotels, bed and breakfasts, as well as campsites” could reopen provided they observed hygiene guidelines. Social distancing is also being reduced to one metre.

The relaxation of rules means up to two households can stay together in holiday accommodation.

He added: “Most leisure facilities and tourist attractions will reopen if they can do so safely.”

These included theme parks, museums, galleries, cinemas and arcades. However, waterparks, nightclubs and swimming pools will remain closed.
