It might not be long until you can resume your normal routine of picking up a Greggs sausage roll from your local - in some places at least.
The nation's favourite bakery is reportedly reopening some of its stores in order to test how it will safely reopen when lockdown is lifted.

All 2,050 of Greggs' stores have been closed since 24th March after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced lockdown, offering limited delivery on JustEat.
"We want to play our part in getting the nation back up and running again so we are planning to conduct a limited trial with volunteers to explore how we can reopen our shops with new measures in place that keep our colleagues and customers as safe as we can when we re-open at scale," a spokesperson told The Sun on Monday.
It's unclear currently how many stores will be reopening and in which locations - but fingers crossed for one close to us.

The chain also doesn't give details on how they will safely practice social distancing, but it's likely measure such as protective screens, distanced queuing and cashless payment that could be introduced.
Back in March, CEO Roger Whiteside announced the bakery would be closing to adhere to government lockdown measures, though would continue to pay staff full contract hours during the closure.
In a statement posted on Greggs' Instagram, Whiteside assured the company would "continue to provide support to our local communities by distributing any remaining unsold food and offering support for those in hardship through the Greggs Foundation".

It added: "To our customers, thank you for your ongoing support - we know these are difficult and unsettling times, and through our community work we hope to be able to continue serving you, and your friends and families in some way."
There may be light at the end of the Greggsless tunnel, guys.
