March 29, 2021 The so-called 'rule of 6' is back in force in England today, which extends the possibility of social contacts up to 6 people from two different families, as part of the gradual relaxation and stages of the lockdown (in force since now three months) announced by Boris Johnson in recent weeks.



This easing remains however cautious and conditioned by the trend "of the data, not on pre-established dates", as reiterated in the past few hours by the British Tory Prime Minister himself, despite the fact that the United Kingdom continues to run on the vaccine front with almost 34 million doses administered ( over 30 million people subjected to the first injection, according to yesterday's update, and over 3.5 million recalls).



The other novelty today - after the reopening of schools at the beginning of March - concerns the resumption of individual outdoor sports activities (tennis or golf).

While non-essential shops, pubs, restaurants (except takeaway), cinemas, theaters, swimming pools and entertainment venues remain closed for the time being.



For shops and hairdressers, the reopening, if the downward trend in covid infections continues, is set for April 12, when only outdoor service in pubs and restaurants will be allowed again;

while for cinemas, theaters and indoor venues we will talk about it again in the second half of May, when some restrictions on internal travel could also be revised.



For international travel, hotel business and collective public events a hope of normalization is indicated no earlier than 21 June.
