There will be temperature screening at shop, library, school etc entrances - raised temps will result in loss of movement privileges. Schools and sports and pubs won't open in the first wave. Access to schools and pubs may be 'rationed' for a while with some groups allowed in one or two days a week only, to permit spacing out. Anyone who can work from home will be encouraged to continue to do so. Longer term, essential workers who have kept our world ticking over, particularly those in high risk jobs - shop workers, post delivery workers, carers, waste disposal operators - will realise how undervalued and vulnerable and necessary they are and will rediscover the value of being in a Union. Our world will change in ways we can't really imagine.

The confirmed cases are now well in excess of 6k with no recovered figures given . Surely the individual who tested positive in February no longer has the virus? The testing needs to be ramped up and a clear road map to exiting this needs to be published.

Don’t know how they would implement it, maybe on a basis of square footage of the restaurant dining area, number of staff required etc.

reg114 wrote: » Honestly I see restaurants and pubs amongst the last businesses to reopen in a phased transition out of lockdown. Ultimately even if you control numbers entering a restaurant or pub, people are sitting in close proximity to each other for extended periods of time, throw in the added effect of gargle and any discipline will go out the window. Publicans are in for a long few months.

The current restrictions will be lifted in 4 weeks or less, but i will be very surprised if pubs are allowed open at that stage, unless something dramatic happens whereby the number of cases are down to single figures, even then the risk is if you open everything up all at once we are at risk of a second wave. What's far more likely to happen is restrictions will be eased incrementally over the next two - three months. It maybe at some point, assuming a vaccine isn't fast tracked or effect treatment found, we might have to reintroduce some restrictions. Hopefully a vaccine or treatment does comes along soon, though, because elderly people, like my mother, will probably have to self- isolate/cocoon for two or three months at least, while the restrictions ease for the rest of us. It's a very tough ask, but there might be no choice.
