However, as beaches and parks reopen and locals are allowed outside again, this has led to swarms of people visiting open spaces.

In Italy, which had one of the strictest lockdowns in place after hitting some of the highest case numbers in Europe, is now letting families leave their homes after six weeks with people allowed to commute to work.

Images from yesterday reveal busy train platforms and bustling town squares.

Shopkeepers in Venice also grouped together for a flashmob protest to allow stores to reopen earlier than planned by the Italian government.

Spanish locals are also allowed outside after being forced to remain indoors or within proximity to their homes.

While swimming in the sea is banned, beaches have reopened and saw hoardes of people flock to them during the good weather.

Malaga locals were spotted doing yoga and riding their bikes while Barcelona attracted huge crowds along the promenade while exercising.

Even the US has begun reducing their lockdown restrictions, despite rising numbers of coronavirus.

Clearwater Beach in Florida, which was allowed to open again yesterday, had hundreds of people visiting once again, with similar scenes in Washington.

Australia, one of the few countries to have seen coronavirus cases all but stop, allowed visitors to their beaches again.

However, scientists fear that easing lockdowns could risk a second, and more deadly, spike in cases.

Looking at Italy, Imperial College London (ICL) modelled how the virus would spread as the country begins to reopen with academics warning of a “resurgence of the epidemic with more deaths than the current wave”.

Germany has already seen its coronavirus transmission rate soar upwards after it relaxed some of its strict lockdown measures last week.

The country faces the prospect of returning to a stricter lockdown if cases continue to rise.

Foreign Secretary Mr Raab said during the No10 press conference that they were watching Germany carefully and what happened would impact on decisions about the UK coming out of lockdown.

He said: “We need to be confident that any adjustments to the current measures will not see a second peak which could overwhelm the NHS. That would lead to many more deaths from Covid-19.

“That would lead to a second lockdown.”
