The Government's proposed roadmap for living with Covid-19 will see counties and regions graded 1-5 on the prevalence of the virus, with each level dictating the level of restrictions in place in that area.

Under the Government's plan, the levels will be assessed based on the 14-day prevalence of the virus, the time of year, the level of community transmission, and the rate of hospital and ICU admissions.
