Shops across the Isle of Wight can reopen from today (Monday).
Retailers will have to put strict social distancing measures in place, and shoppers can expect things like screens at tills and closed fitting rooms.
Lockdown restrictions are continuing to ease across the UK as the number of coronavirus infections drops.
It has now been 12 weeks since Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the measures in March - drastically changing our lives.
A variety of non-essential shops and services can reopen under conditions that they adhere to social distancing measures.
These include the following:
- Fashion shops
- Charity shops
- Betting shops
- Tailors, dress fitters and fashion designers
- Auction houses
- Antique stores
- Retail art galleries
- Photography studios
- Gift shops and retail spaces in theatres, museums, libraries, heritage sites and tourism sites
- Mobile phone stores
- Indoor markets
- Craft fairs
- Similar types of retail
However, other businesses - including pubs, restaurants and hairdressers - will remain shut until at least July.
Zoos and safari parks can reopen, but attractions will not be allowed to reopen indoor exhibitions such as reptile houses.
They must also ensure amenities including cafes are takeaway only to comply with social distancing guidelines.
Secondary schools can start reopening, with pupils in Year 10 and 12 able to get some face-to-face time with teachers before the summer holidays.
Mr Johnson said the move would help students "prepare for exams next year with up to a quarter of these students in at any point".
Plans for all pupils in England to return to primary school this term before the summer holidays have been dropped after the government conceded social distancing would be a challenge for some schools.
Face coverings will be mandatory on public transport, from today (Monday) - including on ferries.
