What did we learn from today's UK briefing?

The daily press conference was led by the prime minister, Boris Johnson. He was joined by Prof Chris Whitty, the chief medical adviser, and Sir Patrick Vallance, the chief scientific adviser.

Here's what they told us:

The government has decided that its tests (protecting the NHS, consistent falls in death rates, consistent falls in the infection rates, solving operational problems, and avoiding a second peak) for lifting lockdown restrictions have been met

On Monday, schools will re-open for children in receptions, year one and year six. From 15 June, years 10 and 12 will start to receive some face-to-face teaching

From Monday, some non-essential retail will open, with more to come on 15 June, depending on the infection rate

From Monday, six people will be able to meet, so long as they keep to social distancing rules (staying 2m from people from outside your household) and remain outside. People will be able to meet in private outdoor spaces. The public is advised to avoid mixing with multiple different households in quick succession to avoid quick transmission of the virus

The rate of infection is still near to one (between 0.7 and 0.9), meaning lifting measures has to be done very carefully. People who are classed as extremely clinically vulnerable must remain shielded. However if the absolute number of infections falls, some lifting of shielding may be possible
