More than six million people are currently on furlough - having 80% of their wages paid by the government while they're on temporary leave. The hugely expensive scheme - £14bn a month - is due to run out at the end of June. On Tuesday, Chancellor Rishi Sunak is widely expected to announce a gradual winding down, but also, perhaps, more flexibility for part-time work. Hard-hit industries fear widespread job losses if the support package is removed.

It comes as the government continues to defend its return to work message, after criticism that it was issued without an explanation of how it could be safely achieved. Guidance has now been published for employers, which union leader Frances O'Grady said was a "step in the right direction". But she warned supplies of personal protective equipment for workers who need it must be guaranteed. How do you run a factory in a pandemic? Take a look.

Guidance has also been published for schools on how they could reopen with social distancing from 1 June. Class sizes of no more than 15 and staggered break times are part of the plan. More guidance is also due on how to travel safely on public transport, including using face coverings. The bus network, in particular, says it faces big challenges.

In other news, Northern Ireland's devolved government will publish its five-stage plan on lifting lockdown later - Scotland and Wales are already taking slower steps than England. And this year's summer solstice celebrations at Stonehenge have been cancelled.

In Washington, White House staff have been ordered to wear face masks after two aides tested positive. The president, though, continues to insist he doesn't need one because he keeps "far away from everyone". As deaths in the US pass 80,000, the BBC has looked at the six weeks when more could have been done to contain the country's outbreak.

There's concern around a cluster of cases linked to nightclubs in South Korea's capital Seoul after social distancing measures there were eased. Elsewhere in Asia, Singapore is relaxing its restrictions slightly, and talks have been taking place between ministers in India about potentially doing the same, despite the steady rise in confirmed infections.

Boris Johnson's relaxation of the lockdown in England has prompted many questions and we've been doing our best to answer them. Can your boss now force you to return to work, for example, and how should we be travelling to our jobs? Away from work, can you see your friends and parents? 

We know the rules around exercise have changed, but can you go for a walk in a national park? And finally, what about masks - where do you need to wear one and how can you make your own?

There's anger in several papers at the return to work message. The Financial Times says the call to the manufacturing and construction sectors, in particular, suggests a "cavalier attitude towards the welfare of blue-collar workers". The Daily Mirror thinks "the fight against coronavirus has tragically become a class war", and fears "there will be exploitative bosses who cut corners or do nothing" when it comes to workplace safety. The Guardian feels that in general there have been "mixed messages and confused assertions" on lockdown easing and the prime minister urgently needs to come up with a plan the country "can understand and unite around". On its front page, though, the Daily Mail tries to be more positive. It's happy that relatives who don't live together will be able to see each other, using the headline: "We ARE going to meet again." The Sun goes further, reporting on plans for a "Gran day out" with "hugs for grandkids from the first of June".
