Marks and Spencer has announced more branches have opened in the UK. A further 47 M&S Cafés have opened with new shopping rules for customers. This is what you must do.
While M&S Foodhalls stayed open, its clothing stores and cafés were closed in March.
This was to help comply with the government coronavirus lockdown measures.
As lockdown restrictions relax in some parts of the UK, M&S clothing stores have started to open again.
Last month, 48 cafés also opened their doors again for takeaway coffee only.

A further 47 branches have now reopened for takeaway services.
Shopping rules
While branches have been opened again, new rules have been put into place that will make the experience very different.
These include limiting how many customers and staff are inside at one time and using new safety equipment.
A Marks and Spencer statement said: "Across all of M&S the team is focused on helping customers shop with confidence.
In cafés, rigorous safety measures including perspex screens have been installed at each café till and contactless payment is encouraged."
Those working in stores will also be asked to wash their hands every 30 minutes and immediately after taking cash payments.
Only one colleague will work behind the counter at a time and customers will use contactless collection through a hatch.
While visiting branches, customers need to follow signs that explain everyone keeps a safe two metre distance.
There are now 95 café branches open across the country.
