This is when lockdown started in the UK - and how it compares with other countries
Staying indoors has become the norm in the UK, with the country adapting to life in lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak.
However, current restrictions could soon be about to change as the government prepares to announce a ‘road map’ for the second phase of its response, with Boris Johnson set to address the nation on Sunday (10 May).
But how long has lockdown been in place?

The government imposed the lockdown on the evening of Monday 23 March.
The restrictions were initially put in place for a period of three weeks, until Monday 13 April, but were later extended for another 21-day period.
The government will review the current restrictions on 7 May, three weeks after the last extension was announced.
The Prime Minister will then announce the next phase of the UK’s response to the pandemic on Sunday (10 May).

Hide AdWhat restrictions could be eased?
After his address to the nation on Sunday (10 May), Mr Johnson suggested that “phase two” of the plan for tackling coronavirus could come into force.
While he has not confirmed how or which restrictions may be tweaked, Downing Street indicated that "easements" were being considered, such as outdoor activities.
But there could be a possible tightening of rules in other areas.
The news comes after he announced on Thursday (30 Apr) that the UK had now passed the peak of infections, and was on a downward slope.

In Scotland, the weekly total of coronavirus-related deaths has now started falling for the first time, according to the National Records of Scotland (NRS).
A total of 523 deaths were registered between 27 April and 3 May, marking a decrease of 135 from the previous week.
However, there are still some suggestions that deaths in care homes may still be increasing.

China
Wuhan in China, where coronavirus is said to have originated, imposed what is probably the most extreme lockdown from 23 January, with all journeys in and out of the city banned - even for those medical or humanitarian reasons.
Lockdown was gradually eased in parts of China, more than two months after being imposed, although restrictions had to be reintroduced in some areas as signs of a second wave of infections emerged.
The city of Wuhan came out of lockdown on 8 April, almost three months after it came into force.
Italy
Italy shut down its northern region on 8 March - the hardest hit by the virus - and extended restrictions to the whole country just two days later.
