Zero COVID-19 deaths were registered in London on Sunday – for the first time since February, according to PHE data.

The data comes after another easing of England’s lockdown restrictions today with people now allowed to meet in groups of up to six or as two households outdoors, with outdoor team sports also able to resume.

The next step in the lockdown-easing roadmap is 12 April, which is earmarked for non-essential shops and hairdressers to reopen, as well as outdoor hospitality, including pubs and restaurants.
