Three days' notice on reopening indoor dining 'not practical', say pubs and restaurants

The Licensed Vintners Association said the Government has to come to a decision this week.

Pubs and restaurants will be given as little as three days’ notice as to whether or not they can finally press ahead with reopening on July 5.

With staff already being hired, supplies ordered, and premises prepared, the businesses must wait until public health experts and the Government decide whether the risk from the Delta variant is such that the July 5 date must be put back.
