Local leaders in Preston have blamed households mixing in pubs and other homes for restrictions having to be reimposed.

The LGA wants these guidelines to be made mandatory immediately, and has called for local authorities to be given stronger powers to enforce them.

It wants a temporary COVID-19 objective added to the Licensing Act, allowing councils to shut premises that fail to collect contact tracing data or enforce social distancing, or even revoke their licences."It is useful to have something that can move quickly and we can make it entirely clear to the licensee or the operator what the consequences are.

Director of Public Health for Lancashire Sakthi Karunanithi said almost half of the cases reported were among people aged 30 and younger. Mr Karunanithi said the"two main reasons" for the rise in infections were people meeting others in their houses and households coming together in venues such as pubs.

He added:"These two are key behaviours we're trying to protect people from. Don't meet with members of other households in pubs and clubs."

It's getting more and more desperate and pathetic

You’ve told young people they’re not at risk. What do you expect

How about granny just self isolates if she’s that vulnerable? And the remaining 99.9% of the population who won’t die from this virus start living their lives again? When will this madness end?

What about grandad?

Getting desperate with the 'don't kill granny' taglines. They can't use death rates to frighten people into submitting to these ridiculous attacks on personal freedoms, so it is back to slogans. We did not consent to any restrictions, you politicians should remember that.

None of them would wish to kill there granny or anyone else. Like us all, the young & probably worse for them with being so young. There lives have changed so much . Its hard for them to live this way. Think back to when we young . Life was for living REMEMBER God bless them 🙏

What do you want to do lock young people up forever

Lockdown killed most of the granny’s....not a virus.

Pathetic!. This SCAM IS OVER!. Mass testing increase of the young, nobody is sick, nobody has died, Preston hospitals are EMPTY, urgent treatments cancelled and nurses and staff are being laid off!. I live in Preston and know hospital staff!. Stop this scaremongering propaganda!

They don’t care at all

Why should young people put their lives on hold for an undetermined length of time ? It’s them who the fallout from Covid is going to hit the hardest ... is it worth it to give granny an extra 6 months living ?

They'd rather go down the pub.

Hahaha. Yeah, it's the publics fault. Stupid idiots going to pubs and restaurants after being literally bribed to do so my our idiotic government.

This should read “young Asians don’t kill Asian granny”. But quite hard not to do if they live in same house

Young people don’t see granny. The handful of young people with responsible positions dealing with the elderly or with elderly relatives at home won’t be going out with mates. Why does everyone have to conflate and generalise everything? Are they all morons?

Blackmail for a risk that is practically nonexistent.

From people that I know who work in care homes, the majority of the people that died had other issues that where known or not known about at the time, the fittest elderly people just carried on as normal , it just brought some inevitable deaths forward however sad it is

Lockdown 'killed two people for every three who died of coronavirus' at peak of outbreakEstimates show 16,000 people died through missed medical care by May 1, while virus killed 25,000 in same period Lockdown didn’t really work did it. What a shock MattHancock BorisJohnson How many from fatal ADRs to pharmaceutical drugs It's a false comparison; you should be comparing those who have been saved through lock-down measures and the costs of those measures (such as lives lost because of missed medical appointments).
