The bank holiday weekend has been and gone. Now, many of us are eagerly looking forward to April 12, with relaxed restrictions offering the opportunity to visit the pub, pop to the shops and head for a much-needed haircut.

The future, though, still feels uncertain. From vaccine passports to planning a holiday, so much is yet to become clear as we try to prepare for our post-lockdown lives.

Now is the perfect time to turn to The Telegraph - and get clarity when it counts from our award-winning journalists. Join us today and you’ll enjoy your first four months for just 3 in total. Your first month is free and you may cancel at any time. You’ll need to be quick though, this offer ends soon. Then, our subscription prices will rise.

As a Telegraph subscriber, you’ll be kept expertly informed on all the latest developments as we look ahead to our brave new world. Boris Johnson has warned that normality remains “some way off”, with some measures to combat Covid-19 seemingly set to stay in place even after all adults have been offered a vaccine.

The Government has said that Covid status checks are likely to become “a feature of our lives” until the pandemic recedes, while secondary school students have been told that they should continue to wear face masks in the classroom after the Easter holidays. Laura Donnelly, meanwhile, reports on “A sense of scientific deja-vu” in the latest round of “pessimistic projections”, as modelling by Sage suggests that a full release from restrictions could trigger a new wave of hospitalisations as bad as the January peak.

There have been signs of light if you’re hoping for a summer getaway, though. While the Prime Minister warned us not to book foreign summer holidays just yet, he has stated that he’s “not giving up” on overseas trips from May 17 in light of positive signs from the EU. However, EasyJet’s CEO has warned that plans for pre-departure and post-arrival tests will make travel too expensive for most Britons.

We’ll keep you up to speed on where you can travel, in Britain and abroad, as well as the countries accepting vaccine passports this summer. And if you’re in the mood for an adventure over the late May Bank Holiday, make sure you explore our pick of six beautiful campsites that still have availability.

Michael Deacon deftly points out that “There’s a simple flaw in having vaccine passports for pubs,” asking “Has Boris Johnson spotted it?” Andrew Lilico expertly analyses the risks around lifting restrictions, arguing compellingly that “The modelling and data support accelerating the release of lockdown, not delaying it”.

Patrick O’Flynn reflects on worrying signs for the Opposition in the upcoming Hartlepool by-election, writing “Labour losing Hartlepool will come as no surprise given Starmer's indulgence of identity politics”. For Tom Harris, “It's a tribute to the delusions of the Corbynite Left that they want Labour to lose Hartlepool”. And Charles Moore is at his insightful best as he states that “‘Who you know’ is fundamental in politics”.

Of course, that’s not all. From the International Monetary Fund predicting that Britain’s growth will outstrip that of Europe and the US next year, to Parisian women on their boredom with tired style stereotypes, and why defeat in Madrid could spell the end of Trent Alexander-Arnold's time as a Liverpool defender, you’ll find an exceptionally diverse range of food for thought.
