out of lockdown, Lincs Inspire is delighted that there are now provisional dates for the reopening of its venues and services.

“We continue to work hard to ensure that all services meet the requirements for safe reopening, and we cannot wait to see customers back benefiting from our community services and welcoming you back to enjoy arts and entertainment.”

As of March 29, the Stay at Home order will end, although many lockdown restrictions will remain.

Outdoor sports facilities, such as tennis courts and football pitches, will be allowed to reopen.

This means people can take part in formally organised outdoor sports.

Outdoor gathering of either six people or two households will be allowed. This includes in private gardens. The roadmap, which has now been published on gov.uk, outlines four steps for easing restrictions.

Before proceeding to the next step, the Government will examine the data to assess the impact of previous steps.

This assessment will be based on four tests: ■ The vaccine deployment programme conti tinues successfully.

Evidence shows vaccines are sufficiently effective in reducing hospitalisations and deaths in those vaccinated.

Infection rates do not risk a surge in hospitalisations which would put unsustainable pressure on the NHS.

Our assessment of the risks is not fundamentally changed by new Variants of Concern.

There will be a minimum of five weeks between each step: four weeks for the data to reflect changes in restrictions; followed by seven days’ notice of the restrictions to be eased.

The Lincs Inspire spokesperson added: “We will keep everyone updated as soon as further information becomes available to us and in the meantime, we hope that residents will take advantage of our Library Takeaway service and virtual online fitness classes.
