High streets in England are preparing to open this morning for the first time in nearly three months.

Social distancing measures will be in place to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

The UK's small business minister, Paul Scully, insists it is safe for people to venture out, despite high infection rates in some areas.

"The government's priority has always been lives first.

"But clearly livelihoods, restoring livelihoods, protecting jobs, making sure our economy can start to motor and recover again is really really important.

"People now can feel confident that they can go out, and start shopping again."
