On tomorrow's front page: BBQ supplies could RUN OUT as ‘pingdemic’ forces butchers and meat factory staff into Covid isolation

Thousands of meat factory staff have been forced off work after being alerted by the NHS Test and Trace app.Summer BBQs are under threat because too many butchers and meat factory workers are being been pinged by the Covid appShoppers could see a shortage of meat, including lamb chops and steaks, and fewer items on supermarket shelves because of the app, the meat industry has warnedThe wider impact on business has led to new calls for the Government to ease isolation rules before August 16.

And in another blow to holidays, last night France was kept on the amber list, excluding it from the relaxed “Freedom Day” travel rules from Monday.. Factoring in close contacts, it could mean six million at home by next week. One in ten at meat factories is now off work. Nick Allen, of the British Meat Processors Association, told The Sun: “People are going to find choice limited as the BBQ season unfolds.. If you’re happy to throw any burger or banger on the barbie, you might be fine. But if you like a nice Cumberland sausage or a fancy burger it won’t be as simple.”Some ports have up to a tenth of staff off. Mr Allen added: “Supermarkets rely on daily deliveries.

The pingdemic has also hit bin collections, trains, car factories, pubs, restaurants, hotels and shops.
