Good evening,
Just a quick update - the government has released its latest guidance "Opening certain businesses and venues in England from 4 July 2020" which contains a list of businesses that can reopen by 4th July with relevant guidances. This list is more comprehensive compared to the list that I have provided yesterday. You can read about it here.
There is, no doubt, significant anxieties from industries that have yet to be allowed to reopen. I understand that reviews are currently underway to ensure that they will be able to operate as soon as possible.
Guidances released so far:
- Further guidance on restaurants, pubs, bars and takeaway services
- Further guidance on close contact service (ie Hair salons)
- Guidance for people who work in hotels and guest accommodation, indoor and outdoor attractions, and business events and consumer shows.
- Hotels and other guest accommodation
TWO METRE RULE REVIEW PUBLISHED
For those who are interested, the government had just published their full review of the two-metre social distancing guidance which you can find here.
ADDRESSING THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT
Yesterday I said that I would write to the chancellor about those who have been left out of the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme. You can find my letter here.
Take care,
Holly
