The restrictions were announced on Monday evening after Boris Johnson addressed the nation and introduced the lockdown in an effort to reduce the spread of Covid-19.

Businesses such as clothing shops, homeware stores have to close, but there are certain shops, stores and other businesses that are permitted to stay open providing they follow Covid secure guidelines.

Here's a list of businesses that are allowed to remain open:
