Speaking to the nation tonight, Johnson said: “Starting this Wednesday, we want to encourage people to do more and even unlimited amounts of exercise outdoors.

“You can sit in the sun at your local park, you can drive to other destinations, you can even play sports but only with members of your own home.”

The prime minister’s announcement comes after police said they were waging a “losing battle” to keep people inside over the holiday weekend.

The British poured into parks and beaches to enjoy the weekend sun despite coronavirus guidelines.

In a video message tonight, the Prime Minister:

However, according to the new Boris guidelines, people will still have to maintain social distancing.

Anyone who repeatedly violates the rules could be fined up to £ 3,200 under the new scheme or first-time violators could shell out £ 100, almost double the current fine.

More details on the lock changes will be revealed tomorrow and this week.

And news of day trips will open the door for Britons to escape their homes after six weeks of confinement.

Up to this point, More than 31,000 lives have been lost to the coronavirus in the UK with more than 219,000 cases.

And Johnson said he wanted to see the British continue to work hard for the past few weeks in closing.

He said: “It would be insane now to drop that achievement by allowing a second peak.

“We must be alert. We must continue to control the virus and save lives. “
