Police have attended several incidents in which teenagers have been gathering in large groups.

They have warned parents not to drop their kids off at the Old Brickworks in Swillington, a disused quarry where youths have been seen swimming. 

There have also been issues at East Ardsley Reservoir. On Friday a teenage girl had to be rescued and taken to hospital after getting into difficulties in the water.

It’s still illegal to gather in groups from more than one household.

Daily death toll in Leeds rises to highest since lockdown began

Friends and family will be able to meet in parks and gardens in socially-distanced groups of six under Boris Johnson's gradual easing of the lockdown for England.

The Prime Minister said that all five of his tests to move into the next phase had been met, allowing schools to begin reopening and greater contact to be permitted from Monday.

Mr Johnson on Thursday said people would be able to see "both parents at once, or both grandparents at once" in what he said would be a "long-awaited and joyful moment" for many.

The easing of restrictions begins re-opening the economy, with outdoor retail and car showrooms opening in England from Monday ahead of a greater opening of non-essential shops.

The National Trust has announced that bookings for a number of gardens and parklands will open on May 29, with the sites open from June 3 only to those who have booked in advance.

North Yorkshire’s Beningbrough Hall will reopen on June 3.

The Royal Horticultural Society has also announced the opening of its gardens from June 1 for visitors with pre-booked tickets only, with booking opening from 10am on Friday May 29

Harrogate’s Harlow Carr will reopen.

The Government has announced that the five tests it set out in order to adjust lockdown restrictions have been met, which has paved the way for schools and some shops to reopen from next week.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson made the announcement at the Downing Street daily briefing on Thursday, after social-distancing measures were reviewed and advisers updated the Government on how much progress has been made towards meeting the five tests required for the next phase of lockdown easing to begin.

Mr Johnson confirmed that all five tests have been met, adding: "The result is we can moved forward with adjusting the lockdown on Monday."

Here is how we have met each of the five tests.

- Test 1: The NHS has the capacity to provide critical care right across the UK

- Test 2: A sustained and consistent fall in daily deaths from coronavirus

- Test 3: The rate of infection decreased to manageable levels across the board

- Test 4: Operational challenges including testing and PPE are in hand, with supply able to meet future demand

- Test 5: Confident that any adjustments to the current measures will not risk a second peak of infections that overwhelms the NHS

Boris Johnson will be questioned by senior MPs over the coronavirus crisis on Wednesday as calls for his key adviser to resign over his travel continue to grow.

The Prime Minister is set to face questions on the decision of his top aide, Dominic Cummings, to travel from London to Durham during the shutdown.

But controversy has been sparked by the fact the PM will only briefly be quizzed on the matter at the Commons Liaison Committee hearing.

The Prime Minister's top adviser remains at the centre of a political storm as more than 30 Tory MPs have called for him to go.

However, senior ministers have expressed public support for Mr Cummings, despite reports a number of Cabinet members have privately called for him to be ousted from No 10.

With the controversy over Mr Cummings raging, it is understood MPs will have a maximum of 20 minutes in a 90-minute session to probe the situation when Mr Johnson appears before the Commons Liaison Committee.

Other aspects of the coronavirus crisis will also be discussed in the 20-minute slot.

A total of 13,956 people have now tested positive for coronavirus in Yorkshire.
