Boris Johnson has confirmed that all shops will be allowed to reopen on June 15 as part of the Government's three-stage plan to ease lockdown measures.

Shops planning to reopen such as Marks & Spencer and Ikea have already said that they will impose restrictions on the number of customers entering their stores and that close-contact services such as clothes fitting and make-up are to remain suspended until further notice.

Hairdressers, nail bars and beauty salons, pubs, clubs and restaurants will, however, remain closed until at least July, because the Government says the risk of transmission is higher because of greater person-to-person contact over longer periods.
