England and other parts of the United Kingdom are slowly reopening after a four-month COVID-19 lockdown.

During their strict lockdown, pubs, shops and other businesses were closed.

Police also shut down religious services, parties and handed out fines of up to 10,000 pounds ($14,000).

Although Prime Minister Boris Johnson is warning people to stay cautious of the virus, COVID-19 restrictions are expected to be lifted next month.
