Boris Johnson is set to announce how the lockdown in England will be lifted and when.
In the next couple of days, the Prime Minister will review the first concrete data about the impact of vaccines on Covid cases, hospital admissions and deaths.
A blueprint timetable has emerged that suggests pubs will be open by late April along with some sporting venue.
Entertainment venues will follow suit in early May, Sky News reports.
School pupils are expected to return to the classroom on March 8, under plans for a gradual exit out of lockdown.
The timetable devised by officials has not yet been signed off by the Prime Minister, it is understood, and will be reliant on the continuing decline in Covid across the country.
Johnson is set to unveil his plans for what will happen next for England on Monday February 22.
There is now said to be "a desire to reopen rapidly in the weeks after schools readmit most children next month".
Sky News reports that the blueprint for exiting lockdown suggests that students in higher education and further education could be back in mid-April, and non-essential shops will also reopen.
After this hospitality venues, hotels, leisure facilities and some sporting venues will open their doors in late April, it is reported.
Entertainment venues and sporting facilities will reportedly follow in early May.
Johnson said on Wednesday that he will take a "cautious and prudent approach" to easing England's national lockdown and that it will be done in stages.
