What are the restrictions?
Due to the coronavirus, or Covid-19, which is continuing to spread throughout the world, a large number of countries have enforced strict health and safety measures. To limit people’s contact with one another, Boris Johnson and his government have decided to close entertainment and outdoor leisure activities including bars, pubs, restaurants, museums and galleries, nightclubs, cinemas, theatres, gyms, etc. People are encouraged to stay at home and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary. In addition, to protect themselves and their environment, they are asked to work from home, if possible. They can only go out to buy essential goods such as food and medicines. Most importantly, they must avoid travelling.
However, in an attempt to minimize the economic impact of these sudden closures, which are going to be in place for a while, restaurants that offer takeaway and delivery services may continue to operate.
