March 8 marks the first of these stages, with all schools reopening, while organised outdoor sport will be permitted from March 29
One of the four data “tests” he will announce will be based on infection rates linked to NHS capacity. That means that Covid case numbers rising will not necessarily stop the reopening, but cases rising so high that the NHS risks being overwhelmed would lead to a pause
The other three "tests", which need to be passed to move forward with reopening, are:
📌 The vaccine rollout going as planned
📌 Vaccines reducing hospitalisations and deaths
📌 New variants not creating big unforeseen risks
