Prime Minister Boris Johnson has asked people to exercise “a heavy dose of caution” as indoor socialising resumes on Monday.

From Monday, up to six people or people from two households are allowed to meet indoors, and 30 people can gather outdoors; indoor hospitality businesses can reopen, and the “new guidance on meeting friends and family emphasises personal responsibility rather than government rules,” according to the government.
