Further lockdown restrictions are now starting to be eased across England following the government’s latest review on 28 May, including plans to reopen shops.

The reopening of retail outlets will be done in phases, with some sites able to reopen for business from the start of June.

When will shops reopen?

As of 1 June, outdoor markets and car showrooms are permitted to start trading again in England, providing customers can be kept safe.

All other non-essential retailers will reopen to customers two weeks later, from 15 June.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the reopening of non-essential retailers is dependent on the following of new Covid-19 secure guidelines, to keep both shoppers and workers safe.

Such guidance includes the use of screens and barriers to separate people where possible, banning large groups from entering stores at the same time, operating a one-way system in store, and increasing the frequency of hand-washing and surface cleaning.

Fitting rooms will also be banned from use and customers are encouraged to only touch items they intend to buy.

Which shops are reopening today?

Outdoor markets and car showrooms reopened in England on 1 June.

The reopening follows several DIY, garden and homeware stores which have already been permitted to restart trading, including B&Q and Homebase.
