by  •  • 0 Comments

Originally written by Timothy Adler on Small Business
Shops, pubs and restaurants and other small businesses have been reallowed to reopen, as of April 12.
However, the rules on social contact still apply: indoor settings must only be visited alone or with household groups; outdoor settings are limited to either six people or two households.
This includes non-essential retail; personal care premises such as hairdressers, beauty and nail salons; and indoor leisure facilities such as gyms and spas (but not including saunas and steam rooms, which are due to open on May 17).

The majority of outdoor settings and attractions have also reopened, including outdoor hospitality, zoos, theme parks, drive-in cinemas and drive-in performances events.
Hospitality venues can open for outdoor service, with no requirement for a substantial meal to be served alongside alcohol, and the 10pm curfew has been scrapped. The requirement to eat and drink while seated will remain.
