At least five weeks between each step to ease lockdown in England

LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - There will be at least five weeks
between each step to ease lockdown measures in England, the
government said on Monday as it set out key dates to reopen
schools, shops, restaurants and other parts of the economy.

"It takes around four weeks for the data to show the impact
of easing restrictions and the government will provide a further
week’s notice to the public and businesses ahead of any further
changes," it said in its roadmap document.

"For that reason, there will be at least five weeks between
the steps in the roadmap."
