As part of the government's ''careful steps'' to ease lockdown measures for England:
Individuals in England are now allowed to meet one other person from outside their household if they stay outdoors. They can also take part in more outdoor activities and exercise as much as they want.
However, people still need to follow social distancing guidance by keeping more than 2m (6ft) apart from anyone they don't live with.
Who am I allowed to meet?
The guidelines in England allow one person to meet someone from outside their household outdoors, as long as they stay more than 2m apart.
It means, for example, they could have a picnic in the park, or play a non-contact sport, provided they observe social distancing.
This only applies to two individuals from separate households, so you would still not be allowed to meet both your parents together.
It also means you cannot have a barbecue in your garden for friends, even if you all stayed 2m apart. And you are still not able to invite people inside your home.
However, anyone who is shielding and has been asked to stay at home should continue to do so.
Can I exercise with other people?
People in England can now take unlimited exercise and play certain non-contact sports like tennis, golf or basketball with one person from outside their household, as long as social distancing is maintained.
However, they are still unable to use areas like playgrounds and outdoor gyms where there is a higher risk of close contact and touching surfaces.
People in England are free to drive as far as they like to outdoor open spaces. But they should not travel to Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, or stay anywhere else overnight, including at a second home.
Dogs can be walked as part of a person's daily exercise
What could the next steps be?
The government is considering whether to allow two households to socialise with each other, provided neither side mixes with other groups.
Known as a ''social bubble'', this would allow more social contact, and an opportunity to share childcare, while hopefully limiting transmission.
It is also looking at ways small weddings could be allowed to take place.
This coronavirus appears to thrive in crowded, indoor spaces which is why pubs, restaurants and many workplaces remain closed and the public has been advised against using public transport.
But transmission of viruses is less likely when ''fresh'' air is involved - and that's usually when people are outside.
What is self-isolation?
If you show symptoms of coronavirus - such as a dry cough and high temperature - you must take extra precautions.
Y
ou should stay at home and not leave it for any reason. This is known as self-isolation.
You should not go out even to buy food or medicine, and instead order these online, or ask someone to drop them off at your home.
You can use your garden, if you have one.
