Will the UK's pubs stay shut until May?

Other fixtures of the High Street, such as "non-essential" shops, have been earlier to reopen when restrictions have been eased previously.

Pubs can no longer offer takeaway pints for outside consumption in mainland Scotland, where drinking alcohol is now banned in public outdoor areas.'More sites lost' Graeme Smith, from AlixPartners, who compiled the data, noted that the coming months "will likely see more sites lost for good". The end of March will also see the application period close for government-backed loans of up to £50,000 to smaller businesses under the "bounce back" scheme.Nigel Wright, who has run the Stags Head in central London for 15 years with his partner Joanne, says he is "extremely worried" about having to stay closed beyond April if business rates return.

He adds that he would prefer a longer lockdown if it means he can reopen permanently, adding: "What's the point of opening for two weeks?"

Recently, my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (blood cancer). My friend, Jason and his wife are first time parents and could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.

They will never reopen ever again 😛😛😋😋😷😷

Are we nearly there yet daddy

God help May. 🍻🍻

Will the schools

Even longer than that i'd say its clear mps and these 'experts' blame hospitality for the spread of the virus keep hold of your memories because without financial help you wont have a local pub anymore

Nobody knows, can't predict the future

Obviously it’s all pubs fault. The dog and duck in Peckham made the decision to keep our borders open even tho NZ and Aus ( both islands see the connection) closed theirs and had about 1000 deaths each

Fucking hope not.

You make it sound simple, not every pub is a massive modern buildings, my local pub, is a tiny thing, built in 1686, quaint sure, but not enough room to swing a cat, let alone social distancing. If the pubs do open, each pub needs to be evaluated for Safety first.

They will drive people to drink at home ,so pubs will be finished

Hopefully pubs won’t be shut until May, but the BBC and other media organisations are doing their best to ensure they will be.

Im thinking August or early September

At least May

Depends on what the hospitalisation and death data shows by May. If deaths are say below 50 a day due to enough elderly and vulnerable being vaccinated then yes, they should start to open things back up.

Hopefully

I think there’s more important things to think about rather then will pubs reopen scrapthetvlicence

They will still be shut this time next year... 😏 by design not by virus

Rather them stay closed to July so we can enjoy a full pub again euros on no social distancing and normal life again

I hope not.

May God help us on the covid 19 pandemic
