Travellers coming to UK required to provide details of where they are staying and self-isolate for 14 days

They must not:

* Go to work

* Go to public areas

* Use public transport/ taxis

* Have visitors

* Go out and buy food if they can rely on others
Elite sportsmen and women *have not* made it onto the exemption list

That effectively kills off hopes of champions league football or British Formula 1 Grand Prix if restrictions are still in place
Potential reprieve for British F1 Grand Prix, which is due to take place in July

Govt is working with elite sports 'to find ways major events can go ahead safely'

The lockdown strategy:

Phase one (from Weds)

* People should 'aim to wear face-coverings' on public transport & in shops

* Workers should continue to work from home wherever possible

* Workers who cannot work from home should travel to work - but avoid public transport
Phase one of lockdown easing continued:

* Over-75s should STILL 'minimise' contact with other households

* Vulnerable children should go to school

* Unlimited exercise, people can now drive to outdoor open spaces

* MPs should start coming back to Parliament
Phase two of lockdown easing (from June 1)

* Sage will only *examine* whether one household can mix with another an 'exclusive' basis

* It says 'bubble' approach could reduce current social restrictions while continuing to 'limit chain of transmission'

Times lobby team’s inside read:

* PM following doctor’s advice to letter & won’t be back any time soon

* Ministers believe scientists are in charge - in PM’s absence there’s no appetite for political risk

* Ministers turning on Hancock over test target

Boris Johnson following doctor’s advice to the letter, limiting himself to exchanging texts with colleagues

‘He will have been told very clearly that he risks killing himself if he goes back to work too soon’
Dominic Raab is taking a deliberately low-key approach to his role as stand-in leader

 ‘He is being very careful not to try to be the prime minister,’ one ally said. ‘He doesn’t want to be seen as overstepping the mark.’

EXCLUSIVE:

Ministers to unveil emergency Coronavirus powers:

* Police allowed to detain infected

* Care standards could be lowered for elderly

* Ministers allowed to close ports

* 'Trains, vessels & aircraft' can be halted

* Schools can be directed to close or remain open
The emergency powers, which will be in place for two years, will enable police and immigration officers across UK to detain anyone with suspected Coronavirus

They will be able to detain them for a 'limited period' so they can be screened
The level of care for elderly could be stripped down as pandemic grips Britain

Local authorities will be relieved of statutory duty to meet 'assessed needs'

It could mean people only receive support with washing and cooking once rather than twice a day
