New guidance has been issued to police which states that driving to a place to exercise is 'likely to be reasonable' - and lists other changes to the rules for the next three weeks of lockdown.

The guidance issued to police forces on Friday morning from the National Police Chiefs Council has updated advice for officers when interpreting lockdown laws and enforcing them.

Changes include how police should manage shopping, exercise, key workers and allowing people to leave home to avoid arguments.

The advice says key workers should not be asked for ID, and that people are allowed to buy non-essential items like snacks and luxuries alongside their regular shopping.

What does the police lockdown guidance say?

Shopping - the new rules explained

Listed under 'likely to be reasonable':

- Buying several days’ worth of food, including luxury items and alcohol.

- Buying a small amount of a staple item or necessity (eg, a newspaper, pet food, a loaf of bread or pint of milk).

- Collecting surplus basic food items from a friend.

- Buying tools and supplies to repair a fence panel damaged in recent bad weather.

Under 'not likely to be reasonable:

- Buying paint and brushes, simply to redecorate a kitchen.
