England is starting to ease restrictions

On Monday the 12th of April, people in England were once again allowed to enjoy some of the things that we have taken for granted.

Below is a list of the changes that took place earlier this week.

*All retail shops can open. Hairdressers, beauty and nail salons are also permitted to do business.

*Bars, pubs and restaurants must be closed indoors, but can serve food and beverage outside. Maximum 6 people can stay together while dining or drinking.

*Hotels, hostels and B&Bs remain closed, but many schools have agreements with host families who can accommodate you.

*Gyms, indoor sports facilities and spas are allowed to reopen once again.

*Theme parks and zoos can be visited in a group of maximum 6 people.

*Libraries and community centres are open.

*Domestic travel is permitted as long as it's minimised and planned in a responsible manner.

By the end of July, all adults in the UK are expected to receive the first dose of vaccination, and hopefully this is a sign that we are getting back to normal very soon.

All language schools are open and there are no signs that they will re-close again for the moment.

If you don't want to travel just yet, you can of course book online English lessons with most of the schools and study from home!
