Coronavirus: Work has begun on plan to ease lockdown restrictions, No 10 says

Planning is underway on how to ease the coronavirus lockdown, Downing Street has announced. The prime minister's spokesman confirmed preparatory work is already happening on how the social distancing measures introduced at the end of March can eventually be eased. Labour has supported an extension of the three-week emergency 'stay at home' rules but called on the government to be 'transparent' and publish its strategy for returning life as close to normal as possible.
