From June 1, lockdown restrictions in England will begin easing. You can see your family and friends, go shopping and send your children to school – but do we have the protections to stop a second wave?

The prime minister has lowered the Covid-19 alert to level three and announced that groups of up to six people will be able to meet in parks and gardens, so long as they socially distance.

But with an easing of restrictions and without the test and trace system fully up and running, some people are wondering how safe is it to start releasing lockdown?
