Each UK nation has set out a roadmap out of lockdown with specific dates - but England's so-called Freedom Day on 21 June has been pushed back by four weeks.

Here are the timetables for lifting COVID-19 restrictions in each UK nation:

England

There are four steps to easing England's lockdown.

The prime minister had been hoping to lift most remaining rules on 21 June, but this has been delayed until 19 July due to a spike in Delta variant cases. However, some restrictions on , wakes and care home residents will be lifted.

Step one out of lockdown was completed in two parts on 8 and 29 March, including schools returning and groups of six people allowed to meet outdoors.

Step two happened on 12 April when non-essential shops, gyms, hairdressers, nail salons, libraries and outdoor attractions reopened, while bars and restaurants were allowed to serve customers outdoors, and groups limited to two households or by the "rule of six".

Step three - since 17 May:

• Outdoors, most social contact rules have been lifted, but gatherings of more than 30 are illegal
• Indoors, the rule of six or a larger group of up to two households is allowed
• Indoor hospitality reopened - pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, bowling alleys, museums, galleries, concert halls, children play areas, hotels, B&Bs - and indoor exercise classes allowed
• People can make a personal choice on whether to social distance when seeing friends and family - but should remain cautious
• Large indoor performances and sporting events with a capacity of 1,000 people are allowed
• Outdoor large performances and sporting events must have a maximum capacity of 4,000 people or must only be half full, whichever is lower
• Bigger sports stadiums are allowed 10,000 people or can only be a quarter full, whichever is lower
• Testing will be used to support these openings
• Weddings, wedding receptions, wakes, bar/bat mitzvahs and christenings are allowed with 30 people
• Funerals are allowed with as many people as a COVID-secure venue can accommodate with social distancing
• Care home residents can have up to five named visitors - two at a time - if visitors have tested negative
• Remaining university students to return to campus, with new home testing kits to be provided to increase testing uptake and help limit virus transmission
• Support groups and parent and child group gathering limits increased to 30 people (not including under-5s)
• Legal restriction or permitted reason requirement to travel internationally has been lifted - but traffic light system applies
• People are asked to continue working from home where possible

21 June - some restrictions on weddings and wakes lifted

• 30-person limit at weddings will be scrapped but rules on singing and dancing will remain
• Guest limits will be set by venues based on their social distancing requirements
• People must sit on tables of up to six people and receptions will be table service only
• Funeral wakes will also no longer be limited to 30 people
• Care home residents won't have to quarantine for 14 days after day visits out
• Pilot mass gathering events will continue, including at Euro 2020 where at least 40,000 fans will allowed at the final four matches at Wembley

Step four - 19 July (delayed from 21 June):

• All legal limits on social contact set to be removed
• Nightclubs and theatres will be able reopen and lifting of restrictions on large events such as festivals
• Testing could be used as a condition of entry to venues
• The four-week delay will be reviewed to see if action can be taken two weeks sooner, on 5 July

Yet to be decided

There are a few rules and issues that have not yet been agreed and will be subject to review during the easing of lockdown.

1. The one metre-plus rule, mandatory facemasks and working from home

The government had hoped to conclude a review of this before step four.

2. Whether you can use proof of having a COVID-19 vaccine to enter mass events

This remains under review by the government, but the idea of a COVID passport has seen a backlash from a cross-party group of MPs who say it would be discriminatory.

3. International travel

Travel has resumed to a very limited extent, with a traffic light system used to categorise countries depending on their COVID-19 situation.

People are advised only to travel to countries on the "green list" - which do not require quarantine on return - but very few destinations have made it onto this list.

4. Major events

The government has said testing could be used to ensure people can safely attend large events.

This is already being used at Euro 2020 games at Wembley Stadium.

Wales

From 7 June, groups of 30 people have been allowed to meet outdoors, including in private gardens, while up to three households can meet indoors, as Wales moved in a phased transition to alert level one.

After gyms, leisure centres and fitness facilities were allowed to reopen on 3 May, concerts and sporting events are going ahead for up to 4,000 people standing and 10,000 seated.

The staged relaxing of restrictions will be reviewed ahead of 21 June to decide whether indoor events can restart.

Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford said the phased approach will allow more people to be vaccinated twice amid concern of the spread of the Delta variant, first identified in India, while also ruling out a travel ban.

Community centre opening, indoor supervised activities for children, and indoor organised activities for up to 15 adults, such as exercise classes were earlier allowed and the outdoor reopening of pubs, restaurants, cafes and other hospitality businesses took place on 26 April.

That came after other restrictions were eased on 24 April, allowing any six people to meet up outdoors.

Level two - since 17 May

• Indoor hospitality reopened - bars, pubs, restaurants and cafes - with the rule of six (not including children under 11)
• Tourism accommodation reopened
• Entertainment venues - cinemas, bingo halls, bowling alleys, indoor play areas, casinos, amusement arcades, theatres, museums, galleries - reopened
• Up to 30 people can take part in organised indoor activities - up to 50 people outdoors (including wedding receptions and wakes)
• International travel allowed under the UK traffic light system

Level one - since 7 June

• Up to six people from outside a household bubble can meet in private homes
• A bubble of two households can form
• Up to 30 people can meet indoors
• Organised activities can have 50 people indoors and 100 outdoors, including weddings
• Nightclubs and adult entertainment venues must remain closed

Northern Ireland

The latest easing of restrictions on 24 May has meant pubs and restaurants can serve people indoors, while indoor attractions such as cinemas, museums and casinos have reopened.

Close contact services such as hairdressers had already opened on 23 April, as well as outdoor visitor attractions.

The next stage of easing lockdown has been set out for 21 June, although it is subject to the COVID-19 data and will be reviewed on 17 June.

If it goes ahead, up to 10 people from no more than two households could be allowed to meet in a private home and stay overnight.

Up to 15 people from any number of households could be allowed to meet in a private garden, while the number of people allowed at managed outdoor gatherings (currently 500) could increase.

Since 24 May:

• Indoor hospitality reopened - with a maximum of six people or more from one household (children under 12 do not count) allowed
• Indoor visitor attractions reopened subject to maximum numbers permitted
• Indoor group exercise and training in number limited to venue
• Travel to the rest of the UK permitted
• Up to 500 people can attend outdoor gatherings.

Scotland

The nation has taken a different approach to the rest of the UK, choosing to put parts of Scotland under different restrictions.

The latest changes to the rules came on 5 June, and it had been hoped much of the country would move down to looser Level 1 restrictions. Instead, much of Scotland's central belt remains in Level 2 due to the spread of the Delta variant.

Some areas are now enjoying eased restrictions, though - Glasgow has been moved from Level 3 to Level 2, while a small number of places have moved into Level 1 or Level 0.

The rules under each level of restrictions are as follows:

Level 2:

• Pubs, bars and restaurants can serve alcohol indoors
• Six people from three households can meet inside homes and stay overnight
• People are allowed to hug loved ones

Level 1:

• Up to eight people from three households can meet indoors in a public place
• Up to 12 people from 12 households can meet outdoors in a private garden or public place
• Soft play centres and funfairs can reopen

Level 0:

• Eight people from four households can gather in private homes
• 10 people from four households can meet in cafes, pubs and restaurants
• Up to 15 people from 15 households can meet outdoors
• All leisure and entertainment businesses - apart from nightclubs and adult entertainment venues - can reopen
