Lockdown easing is finally set to start on Monday, as the first stage of the roadmap comes into force.
Boris Johnson announced his roadmap out of lockdown on February 22, with four stages leading to the end of lockdown.
Monday sees the start of Stage One, with schools set to go back after two months of home schooling.
There are several other changes coming into force, but the majority of changes still won't come into force with the stay at home order still in force.
Most changes won't happen until April when shops, gyms and outdoor hospitality will open.
In May people will be able to see their friends and family inside under the rule of six, with the possibility of foreign holidays at this point.
But for now here's everything changing from Monday.
Schools return and wraparound childcare
Pupils and students in all schools and Further Education settings will return to face-to-face education from 8 March.
Wraparound childcare (including childminders) and other children’s activities can restart from 8 March for all children where it is needed to enable parents or carers to work, seek work, attend education, seek medical care or attend a support group.
Vulnerable children can attend these settings regardless of circumstance.
Under-18 sport can take place at school as part of educational provision, or as part of wraparound care, but should not otherwise take place at this time.
There will be twice-weekly testing of secondary school and college pupils, initially with on-site testing and then home testing.
All households with school children, members of their support and childcare bubbles, and those in related occupations will also be encouraged to get tested regularly.
Some students return to university
Students on practical Higher Education courses at English universities who would be unable to complete their courses if they did not return to take part in practical teaching, access specialist facilities, or complete assessments will also return from 8 March.
Research labs and libraries can be kept open if needed.
For those students that do not need to take part in practical teaching, and do not require access to specialist facilities or equipment as part of their studies, the Government will review, by the end of the Easter holidays, the options for timing of the return of these students.
Care home residents allowed one visitor
From 8 March, every care home resident in England will be able to nominate a single named visitor who can come in for a regular visit.
The visitor will have to take a rapid lateral flow test every time they visit, wear PPE and keep physical contact to a minimum.

Meeting others
From 8 March, the Stay at Home restriction will continue but it will be amended.
From Monday people will be able to leave their home for recreation as well as exercise outdoors - with their own household, support or childcare bubble, or with one person from another household.
Social distancing and other safety measures should still be followed and there should be no household mixing indoors.
Weddings and Funerals
Weddings will still be able to proceed with six attendees only but will no longer be limited to exceptional circumstances.
Rules around funerals will not change; these can proceed with 30 attendees and wakes with 6 attendees, though not in private homes.
