Elsewhere, in Wales, people can also visit non-essential shops and travel across the border to other areas of the UK from today. In Scotland, non-essential stores will open on 26 April.

Meanwhile, people in Northern Ireland are now allowed to meet 10 others outside as the “stay at home” order has been scrapped.
