What are the rules for going on holiday?

In England, the "stay at home" rule is set to end on 29 March.
But holidays within the UK won't be allowed until 12 April at the earliest.
This is subject to four tests being met - including the vaccine rollout going smoothly and no surge in Covid-related hospital admissions.
If that happens, people can stay away from home with other members of their household, or bubble, in self-contained accommodation, such as a holiday cottage.
Hotels and B&Bs are set to open for holidaymakers in England on 17 May at the earliest.
But guests will have to obey the stage three social mixing rules, which are that a maximum of six people or two households can stay together indoors.
The earliest that all restrictions on mixing could be lifted is 21 June, as part of step four, the final stage of lifting lockdown.
What are the rules for going abroad?
The earliest date people from England will be able to travel abroad for a holiday is 17 May, when the country moves in to step three of its lockdown exit plan.
Again, that's if the government is satisfied the four tests are being met.
At the moment, there are lots of rules for foreign travel, including having to quarantine when you re-enter the UK.
It's not known yet what the rules will be when holidays abroad are allowed again, and Home Secretary Priti Patel has warned it is currently "too early" to book.
