Lockdown restrictions are now gradually beginning to ease across the UK, with Scotland now in phase one of its plan for returning back to normal life

Government's in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have each outlined their own phased plans to slowly relax rules, meaning parts of the UK currently have more freedoms than others.

What lockdown rules are currently in place?

As the UK's four nations have the right to set out their own guidance on easing lockdown, rules are being relaxed at a different pace depending on where you live in the country.

Some variation on rules is evident across the UK

Here are the rules that are currently in place across the UK.

Scotland

As of 29 May, Scots are allowed to meet in groups of eight, outdoors in parks or in private gardens, but such gatherings must only include members of two separate households at a time.

While people from different households are still not allowed to meet indoors, it is acceptable to walk through a house to gain access to a garden.
