The national lockdown officially ends on Monday March 29 and the stay at home message will end in England.
People will be asked instead to 'stay local' - though it won't be compulsory.
You will be allowed to leave home for non-essential reasons and use public transport.
Long-distance travel will not be encouraged, however it is legal providing other rules such as overnight stays are not broken.
People are also being asked to minimise the number of journeys they make.
Government guidance states: "The ‘stay at home’ rule will end on 29 March but many restrictions will remain in place.
"People should continue to work from home where they can and minimise the number of journeys they make where possible, avoiding travel at the busiest times and routes.
"Travel abroad will continue to be prohibited, other than for a small number of permitted reasons.
"Holidays abroad will not be allowed, given it will remain important to manage the risk of imported variants and protect the vaccination programme.
The government has stopped short of setting distances they deem acceptable and have been criticised for being unclear.
The word 'local' in the guidance has never been specifically defined - and they don't plan to in the latest step.
It has caused confusion for many, who have been unsure about how far they can go.
The Department of Health and Social Care says: "People should be sensible – if you do leave home, you should stay local in the village, town, or part of the city where you live - unless there is a justifiable reason not to do so."
Step 1 of the easing of lockdown began on March 8, with the reopening of schools and a slight easing of restrictions to let people meet one other person outside for a coffee or a picnic.
The second part of Step 1 due on March 29 will allow up to six people to meet outdoors.
Some outdoor sports are permitted, and open air facilities like swimming pools and tennis courts can reopen.
The Government website says that from March 29:
- you will be able to meet outdoors either in a group of 6 (from any number of households), or in a group of any size from up to 2 households (each household can include existing support bubbles, if eligible)
- you will be able to take part in formally organised outdoor sports with any number of people (outdoor sports venues and facilities will be able to reopen)
- childcare and supervised activities will be allowed outdoors for all children
- formally organised parent and child groups will be able to take place outdoors for up to 15 attendees. Children under 5 will not be not counted in this number.
People in Scotland have only been allowed to travel within a five mile radius for exercise or essential purposes for the whole of 2021.
The Stay at Home order is finally set to be lifted on April 2.
In Wales people must stay local meaning people can leave their homes and travel within their local area – usually within 5 miles.
The First Minister Mark Drakeford, however, is trying to get that travel rule lifted.
The Stay Home message will not officially be relaxed until April 12 in Northern Ireland.
