But PM says 'our national hibernation' is coming to an end .. it's a big moment after three months of extraordinary measures
Also important to note the new rules will be 'guidance' not legislation - moving into a phase where common sense, not the cops, will be trying to implement all of this
PM committed to publishing the SAGE advice on the changes - likely the Chief Scientist and Medical Officer will be at the press conference later today too
