    Most likely when clothes shops open will be the phase they will be included in.

    "Applying a risk-based approach: Phase in opening of all other non-essential retail outlets on basis of restriction on the number of staff and customers per square metre so that social distancing can be maintained. To be limited to retail outlets with street-level entrance and exit i.e. which are not in enclosed shopping centres due to higher risk."

    Based on this I would say phase 3. But I imagine there would be no hanging around encouraged? Phase 3 is currently scheduled for 29th June.

    When are the sports on which people place bets scheduled to start again? No point in the bookies opening if there's no business for them.

    If bookmakers plan on opening to coincide with the return of one of their biggest sports book, then assuming the BHA are able to commit to the tentative schedule, I imagine bookmakers will be reopening shortly if they are allowed to.

    Casinos are in phase 5.
    Non essential retail in phase 3.

    Hard to know

    Could they not bet on when things will reopen and which sports? ;)
