Lockdown Roadmap UK: Boris Johnson Confirms Rule Of Six Will Return Next Month
Kimberley Bond
Published | Last updated
Boris Johnson has confirmed the 'rule of six' will return at the end of next month with pubs, salons and non-essential shops reopening in April.
The Prime Minister spoke in the House of Commons on Monday afternoon, outlining the government's plans for the country to return to some sense of normality later on in the year.
It's good news for brides, as small weddings can finally resume from 8th March, later going up to a maximum of 15 guests.
However, Boris Johnson has stressed that these dates are subject to the rates of coronavirus infection and death remaining low.
