England’s Covid tier system will ‘ruin Christmas’ for hospitality
Sector warns measures will hit revenue as retail industry expresses relief over reopening
A stricter system of tiers to be introduced at the end of England’s lockdown will “ruin Christmas” for struggling restaurants, hotels and pubs, the hospitality industry has warned.
The retail industry expressed relief that all shops will reopen on 2 December during the crucial Christmas trading weeks, alongside gyms and personal care services such as hairdressers and barbers. However, the hospitality industry bore the brunt of toughened rules.
