Tens of thousands of workers across the country will begin returning to their offices and places of work from today, as Covid-19 restrictions ease further.
Rules around organised indoor group activities are also being relaxed, while limits on outdoor group activities for participants are being removed.
The changes come some 18 months after non-essential workers who did not need to be in their workplaces to do their jobs were first directed by the Government to being working from home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
The near overnight introduction of the rules forced many workers and their employers to adapt to a completely new way of remote working that they had not been used to.
