Boris Johnson will use a press conference on Monday to set out how he plans to “restore people’s freedoms” at the final stage of his road map out of lockdown.
Downing Street said the Prime Minister wanted to give the public and businesses more time to prepare for unlocking on July 19, so will give an update before his formal announcement is due next week.
The Government will also publish the results of its reviews into the use of so-called vaccine passports and the future of social distancing guidance.
Reports have suggested that Mr Johnson is preparing to scrap social distancing measures and ditch legal requirements to wear face coverings on “freedom day”.
Officials said the Prime Minister would on Monday give an update on the next steps on the one metre-plus rule in hospitality venues, the use of masks, and working from home.
As well as publishing the taskforce reviews, an update will also be provided on what is next for care home visits, No 10 said.
Speaking before his announcement, the Prime Minister said people would have to “exercise judgment” to protect themselves from Covid-19, in a sign the Government will shift from legally enforced restrictions to affording people personal choice.
