The lockdown restricts people from stepping out of their homes.[14] All transport services–road, air and rail–were suspended, with exceptions for transportation of essential goods, fire, police and emergency services.[18] Educational institutions, industrial establishments and hospitality services were also suspended.[18] Services such as food shops, banks and ATMs, petrol pumps, other essentials and their manufacturing are exempted.[19] The Home Ministry stated that anyone who fails to follow the restrictions can face up to a year in jail.

Looks like the only update is the visa on arrival is suspended indefinitely, the previous notice stipulated "until 30th April 2020". Otherwise, there is no difference.

So, assuming you get a visa from the embassy and you have insurance, you still need:

2.a. "have a medical certificate, issued by competent health authorities of their country no more than 72 hours prior"

What exactly will suffice? A short letter on a Doctor's letterhead? A fancy certificate with gold braiding? Something with 3 different rubber stamps and signatures (like they like to produce)?

It seems to me that even if you can go and get a test, and even if you can then get a doctor to write such a letter, you are completely at the whim of an official who wont read English and wont even know what a doctor's letter looks like. You might as well make one yourself and buy a few rubber stamps. How will they know the difference? Will they be phoning the doctor?

Maybe you have to get a certificate before you get the visa? That's cutting it very fine. And only then can you buy a ticket which means full fare as you are going the next day.

Does anyone know anyone who has got in with a certificate?

I have a feeling that the reason why this isn’t explained in more detail is that you will have to go through a 14 day mandatory quarantine anyway and, more importantly, no airline will resume flights to pp anyway.
Eventually, I guess, universally accepted Covid test certificates will be introduced and the requirement to have one before boarding will be with us for a long long time.
I assume there will be very limited and expensive flight options and mandatory quarantine until October at least and requirements for negative Covid test or (eventually) vaccine proof for years to come.

Until they get rid of any threat of mandatory quarantine in their facilities they will have zero tourism. I won't accept that ever.
Can they afford that? 6.2 million visitors and $4.37 billion of income on a $24 billion GDP economy? (2018)

I might jump through hoops to get a doctors letter, and visas from the embassy and pay through the nose for a last minute flight, but I have a reason to be there. No tourist will bother, and if a nice apartment comes up in Spain or Italy for the summer, my reason will disappear real quick.

My escape guide:

1. Get yourself to the Victoria line, dodging the coppers and any awkward questions.
2. Get a train to Tottenham Hale (do NOT go to Liverpool street as there are cops EVERYWHERE in central london)
3. Ignore the signs that say 'do not go past this point unless you are a key worker' etc, and get the train to Bishop's Stortford
4. Phone Sian and ask her to take you to Stansted Airport Lodge via Tommy Tucker's chip shop, where you can grab a couple of pies and a soft drink for your lonely night at the Lodge.
5. Get Sian to pick you up in the morning and run you to the airport for your flight to Lisbon
6. Get yourself a mask (builders' merchants are a good bet if the pharmacies have run out) and head on down to the coast

Europe is very much on my radar if Cambodia is still playing silly buggers by the end of June (and the fuckin pubs are still shut). I might get a lift to Stansted, sounds a bit easier than your Man from Milk Tray epic journey.
