I know this is pure speculation, but any predictions about changes from next Monday?

@Peppafrig exactly especially one the dm tends to run stories from

arf at Cornwall

please don't do that

daisymay133 · 06/05/2020 22:26

What’s phase 1 please?

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 22:42

Those wanting specific stuff can om me .

Peppafrig · 06/05/2020 22:45

@daisymay133 look up Ireland's plan that's where all of this top secret info is coming from.

RunningNinja79 · 06/05/2020 22:47

I'm assuming that large gatherings such as the great north run etc won't be happening this year.

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 22:49

Running. Not necessarily. Larger gatherings are permitted at stage 5 but it depends on numbers.

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 22:50

Mn is just full of cynical twats these days isnt it ? Shame .

theladywiththelamp · 06/05/2020 22:51

Priti Patel...are you going by the name Paws now? If you could just say this number for us: 947,360.....

Seriously, when can I market my house and get real estate agents in? I’m in the process of separating from my husband which happened just on lockdown and this enforced living together with no view to moving on is bloody miserable!

RunningNinja79 · 06/05/2020 22:53

Running. Not necessarily. Larger gatherings are permitted at stage 5 but it depends on numbers.

Well there's 50+ thousand running it, then a further few thousand cheering on and not to mention the hundreds of volunteers helping out.

Although if parkrun can come back that will make me happy too.

Anyway I've PM'd you

altmum · 06/05/2020 22:54

I believe you Paws, thanks for your postings. It does seem as if the plan is to mirror Ireland. Wonder why the government were suggesting year 6, 10 and 12 would be restarting school in June.

Peppafrig · 06/05/2020 22:57

@pawsforawhile i thought you was off for a name change and not returning to this thread after revealing so much top secret info. But here you are getting people to PM you still dragging this on.

Mikki2019 · 06/05/2020 23:06

@Peppafrig exactly !

This thread is hilarious !

Springhere · 06/05/2020 23:09

There was a post doing the rounds on fb yesterday - a cut and paste of Ireland's five phase plan but claiming it was the English plan! I don't think we will copy Ireland, they are in a far better state than us. I think some of the outdoors restrictions may be eased (as in the Irish plan), but Monday seems very early to make any but the most minor changes.

FurForksSake · 06/05/2020 23:14

Don't they need to do something tomorrow as it's the day the three weeks is up? Doing things from next Friday would be an odd choice given we've has Monday / Thursday changes. I thought we already knew that tomorrow was the announcement of a short extension and Sunday was the roadmap with some easings from Monday?

People can very easily make things look and sound official when they are just producing planning documents to work from.

And why they'd give certain people access early seems odd when they will have time to plan for it?

RunningNinja79 · 06/05/2020 23:14

Sorry PAWS, but it is Irelands plan, as I have just said via PM either the government are being lazy and following Irelands word for word or you're looking at the wrong one or you're simply trolling everyone. Either way I dont care TBH. We'll find out on Sunday with a bit of hints before then. The post on Facebook doing the rounds says the following:

Government's roadmap to ease Covid-19 restrictions will be set out in 5 phases. These phases will be on 3 week review process, the current phases would commence on the following dates:
Phase 1 - 18th May
Phase 2 - 8th June
Phase 3 - 29th June
Phase 4 - 20th July
Phase 5 - 10th August
If coronavirus cases begin to increase, we will revert to the restrictions set out in the previous stage.
🔮 PHASE 1 🔮
Phase 1 of the roadmap will lift the following restrictions:
🔸 Construction workers, landscape gardeners and other outdoor workers may return to work
🔸 Garden centres, repair shops and hardware stores may reopen
🔸 Fitness & sport activities (non-contact) in small groups (max of 4 people) may resume (golf included)
🔸 People may meet up with friends and family in small groups outdoors (size of a "small group" is defined as up to 4 people)

Phase 2 of the roadmap will lift the following restrictions:
🔸 Restriction will be extended from 5km to 20km
🔸 Specific retail hours will be allocated for those currently cocooning
🔸 Home visits will be allowed to those cocooning, by a small number of persons for a short period of time
🔸 Up to 4 people may visit another household for a short period of time
🔸 Slightly larger family gatherings at funerals will be permitted (limited to maximum safe social distancing can still be applied)
🔸 Solitary workers and workers that can maintain social distancing can return to work
🔸 Small retail outlets that can control staff and customer numbers and maintain social distancing may reopen
🔸 Public libraries will reopen
🔸 Outdoor sporting activities, involving small group training (no matches) can recommenced (no contact still allowed)

🔮 PHASE 3 🔮
Phase 3 of the roadmap will lift the following restrictions:
🔸 Commence opening of creches and pre-schools for children of essential workers
🔸 Commence a phased approach to visiting at hospitals and other healthcare settings
🔸 Businesses where employees have low levels of daily interaction may reopen
🔸 Phase in the opening of all other non-essential retail outlets, restricting customer numbers and applying social distancing (limited to retail outlets with street level entrance and exit, i.e. not in shopping centres)
🔸 Playgrounds will be reopened
🔸 'Behind closed doors' sporting events may recommence
🔸 Cafes and restaurants may reopen as long as social distancing is maintained

🔮 PHASE 4 🔮
Phase 4 of the roadmap will lift the following restrictions:
🔸 Travel will be extended to outside of your region
🔸 Larger household visits will be permitted
🔸 Small social gatherings will be permitted (baptisms, small weddings etc.)
🔸 Creches and pre-schools will reopen for all other children
🔸 Other employees return to work - beginning with those who cannot work remotely and then staggering the working times to ensure social distancing
🔸 Barbers and hairdressers may reopen
🔸 Museums and other cultural outlets may reopen
🔸 Sports teams (GAA & soccer) may recommence and public swimming pools may reopen
🔸 Hotels and other hospitality units may reopen based on limited occupancy. Hotel bars are to remain closed.

🔮 PHASE 5 🔮
Phase 5 of the roadmap will lift the following restrictions:
🔸 Social gatherings will be permitted except for large gathering and gatherings in households of suspect cases
🔸 Schools and colleges will reopen on a phased basis and will recommence in the new academic year
🔸 Normal hospital and other residential setting visits will be allowed
🔸 All employees may return to work on normal onsite arrangements, except organisations that cannot maintain social distancing plans
🔸 Enclosed shopping centres may reopen
🔸 Tattoo and piercing parlors may reopen
🔸 Cinemas may reopen
🔸 Close contact physical sports may recommence (rugby, boxing etc.)

🔸 Mass sporting events may recommence where social distancing can be maintained
🔸 Indoor recreational venues may reopen (bowling, bingo etc.)
🔸Small festivals and other outdoor cultural events may resume
🔸 Tourist travel to offshore islands may resume
#StayHomeStaySafe

Now it may just be me, but the picture shared before had the world emoji on and the bit about schools was exactly the same wording. Also my PM mentioned KM and not miles.

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 23:17

Well peppa. I'm not going to that much notice now as your grammar belies you.

You was ?

I had posted a screenshot of the email I had been sent . I work in intel so I trust the information sent to me is accurate.

I have a full resume of how lockdown will be eased . I think lockdown has brought out the worst of this site . Bitchy, scornful, miserable old hags it appears.

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 23:19

Running

That's the email I have received . I work in intel so had not considered it may be public.

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 23:20

Running

Just see ? It may be Ireland's plan but it's almost certainly going to be ours also

Peppafrig · 06/05/2020 23:21

@RunningNinja79 who knew people would come on to mumsnet and claim to have some top secret info all the time talking rubbish. I'm actually amazed anyone fell for this shit .

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 23:22

Peppa.

I work for government in an intel role so this email sent to me is classified.

The fact the Irish model is in the Internet and we appear to be copying it isn't a reason to be a complete bell end is it ?

FurForksSake · 06/05/2020 23:23

Half of phase 1 is already allowed in the UK so certainly isn't going to be a blueprint of this, is it?

Yes I think some elements will be similar, and we may stay in a phase for much longer than these dates indicate if R looks like it is moving.

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 23:24

I'm in England and the documents sent to me are exactly the same as Ireland's by the look of it

RunningNinja79 · 06/05/2020 23:25

www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-drafts-5-step-21986668

So according to the mirror the plan goes until October. Must admit I dont read papers so no idea if the Mirror is trustworthy, but are any.

Peppafrig · 06/05/2020 23:25

@pawsforawhile you know you have lost your argument when you need to stoop to belittling someone's grammar. I'm sorry my dyslexia annoyed you so much . I have no control over it unlike you and your control not to come on threads and lie about being privy to top secret info. Even going as far as blocking parts out to look like you were protecting info. Absolutely bat shit crazy.
