The reopening of non-essential retail, barbers, hairdressers, and hospitality in May and June is expected to be discussed and signed off by ministers tomorrow.

While the Government will tomorrow announce an easing of restrictions to come into effect on April 5, it will also set out a longer-term plan of when people can expect further sectors of society to open up.
