What did Boris Johnson say about reopening hospitality after third lockdown?

The government is expected to reveal its roadmap for unlocking the country next week (Monday, February 22), which Johnson said would be when more details on reopening the trade are revealed.

During a visit to a mass vaccination center in Cwmbran, South Wales, today (Wednesday 17 February) the Prime Minister was asked to find out whether he agreed to the calls so that the case rates are much lower before the hospitality reopens.

He replied: I certainly think we have to take it in stages, we have to go with caution. Last year we fully opened up hospitality as one of the last things we did, as there is obviously an additional risk of hospitality being passed on.

But we will reveal everything on Monday. I know there is a lot of understandable speculation in the newspaper and people are coming up with theories about what we’re going to do and what we’re going to say about infection rates and so on, I would advise everyone , wait, we’ll try to say as much as possible on monday.

Cautious and careful

In the announcement due next week, the Johnson said the plan will be based on a cautious and cautious approach to get out of the lockdown irreversibly. We want to go one way from now on based on the incredible rollout of immunization.

Many players in the trade have been called upon to ask the government to allow the reopening of the sector with minimal restrictions.

The The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) has established a Road to recovery report, which highlighted five key points it wanted the government to consider when pubs can reopen.
