All shops across England will be able to open next month if they can meet the coronavirus guidelines to protect shoppers and workers,<\/strong> Boris Johnson has announced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said outdoor markets and car showrooms would be able to open from June 1 if they are safe to do so.<\/p>\n

All other non-essential retailers \u2013 such as those selling clothes and books \u2013 will be allowed to open from 15 June,<\/strong> provided the guidelines are met along with the Government\u2019s five tests for easing the lockdown.<\/p>\n

Johnson told the daily Downing Street press conference that the risk of transmission is lower in outdoor areas, where social distancing can be easier to enforce.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, garden centres were permitted to reopen in England, Wales and Northern Ireland as part of the easing of coronavirus lockdown restrictions.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said: \u201cWe will set out our formal assessment of the five tests that we set for adjusting the lockdown later this week<\/strong> as part of the three-weekly review we are legally required to undertake by Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut because of the progress we are making I can, with confidence, put the British people on notice of the changes we intend to introduce<\/strong> as we move to step two.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Johnson urged people to go to the shops to help the economy bounce back.\u00a0He said: \u201cI\u2019m certainly not going to discourage them from spending at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that it\u2019s early days but we are very much hoping there will be a bounce back over the next few months<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium, said: \u201cWe welcome the announcement of the Government\u2019s road map for reopening a broader range of shops<\/strong> next month, which provides much needed clarity on the route ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafety is the fundamental concern for all retailers and they have been working hard to implement the necessary measures<\/strong> to operate safely over the past weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that we know which shops can open and when, retailers can begin communicating their plans with their workforces and customers.<\/strong> The industry stands ready to play its part in getting the economy moving again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
