It's pretty much looking like a warm weekend for most of us in England at least where things will be kind of different from Monday.
I say kind of as for the umpteenth time people are confusing Laws with Rules as it is the Laws that are changing in connection with Social Distancing and related matters which is different because like with say wearing anything obscuring your face there is no Law to ban it but good luck going into a bank or building society with that as it often breaches their Rules and you won't get service only if you follow their rule.
Rules don't trump Laws, they deal with local situations such as in institutions such as school.
This is relevant because an area of concern has been around wearing Masks (I prefer to call Masks, Masks not "face coverings" which refer to a wider set of things you might wear to be honest) where the Law will have no legal requirement backed by authority to wear one.
This does not mean that you may be requested in certain setting such as busy crowded places with limited air flow to wear a mask or in medical settings.
Already transportation such as Trams and Underground trains have made it plain a number will be expecting you to comply with a request in metropolitan areas which as so far only two -thirds of people over eighteen are fully vaccinated and much less likely to spread and catch covid.
The same will apply in some Supermarkets which as we all know get super crowded at weekends and other establishments.
To me this does make sense for now and can always be reviewed later although some areas like hospitality may be more "at own risk" as it is impossible to eat and drink masked and opening with huge limits on numbers almost unsustainable economically.
It doesn't diminish our freedom to respect the rights of others such as service providers and their employees in looking after themselves.
You will be be able to do more and with more people BUT you will still need to be cautious and be responsible.
