Non-essential shops have been given the go-ahead to open their doors again in England from 15 June.

Supermarkets, corner shops, banks, pharmacies and petrol stations have been able to remain open during the coronavirus lockdown. But from next week, that list is set to grow in England. On Monday, open air markets and car showrooms will be allowed to reopen.
