She told reporters on Thursday that the science"on physical distancing has not changed" - but added that as fewer people become infected, the chances of coming into contact with someone carrying the infection is lower.Some sectors, such as hospitality and retail, will be exempt from the two-metre rule on the guarantee that extra measures will be put in place instead, in an effort to re-start the country's economy.

Alongside the two-metre rule, the first minister also said that face masks will be mandatory in shops from 10 July - the date on which the country is expected to move its next lockdown phase.Children under five and those with certain medical conditions will be exempt from wearing masks. Some outdoor hospitality businesses will be allowed to reopen from Monday, as can self-contained accommodation, while the guidance telling people to remain within five miles of their home will also be relaxed from next week.
