Boris Johnson is poised to announce some Easter Monday good news, with home and away lockdown-easing moves as part of his COVID roadmap to freedom.
At home, he is launching nine "vaccine passport" pilots from mid-April, including three football showpieces at Wembley, and four night-time entertainment trials in Liverpool.
And away, he is preparing for foreign holidays to go ahead this summer, with a "traffic light" system of rules in which travel to "green light" destinations will not require quarantine.
The Wembley pilots will be the Leicester City/Southampton FA Cup semi-final on 18 April, the Carabao Cup Final between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur on 25 April, and the FA Cup Final on 15 May.
The Liverpool trials will be at the Hot Water Comedy Club on 16 April, the Luna Cinema from 23-25 April, a business event at the ACC conference centre on 28 April, and the Circus Nightclub from 30 April to 1 May.
The other trials are the World Snooker Championship at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre from 17 April - 3 May, and a mass participation run at Hatfield House, Hertfordshire, 24-25 April.
I think the trials will be good idea. It’s unfair the 17th April FA cup semi final date isn’t been trialed as well.
We can’t really determine until all stadiums and theatres are full.
