RE-OPENING PLAN CONTINUES
A government announcement on the next stage of the re-opening plan is due later this week, but from this Monday April 26th there was another big step towards re-opening, including....
*Outdoors sports training for juveniles (under 18) can resume
*Golf courses, outdoor tennis courts etc can reopen
*Outdoor visitor attractions such as zoos & wildlife parks can open
*Up to 25 mourners can attend a funeral
