The British government said on Monday that outdoor markets and car showrooms in England can reopen from June 1 followed by all other non-essential retail from June 15. Next, which has about 500 clothing stores in Britain and Ireland, said it would only reopen 25 on June 15, while department store chain John Lewis, which has 50 stores, said it would phase its reopening to test the changes.
The safety guidance, laid out in a 33-page document, requires more cleaning, queuing systems with one-way flows and increased signage, and fewer customers in stores, while shopping with children is discouraged.
