Reports in England say enforced mask wearing will end and social distancing will no longer be required as part of "freedom day" unlocking on 19 July.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is understood to be preparing to update the public this week on his plans for easing coronavirus restrictions in England.
Multiple newspapers suggested he believes a host of domestic measures can end on his "terminus date". According to The Sunday Times, mask wearing will become voluntary in all settings and the one metre-plus rule in hospitality venues will end, meaning a return to drinking at the bar without the requirement for table service.
