Pubs and restaurants will not have to shut to allow schools to fully reopen in September, says Housing Secretary

Asked on Times Radio whether the Government would look to close pubs in such an event, Mr Jenrick said: "We don't have any plans to do that."

The proposals also included measures to ban Londoners from going beyond the M25 under a city-wide lockdown if there is a flare-up of the virus in the capital. "We will follow the data and look at options if we have to but that approach is the way we restrict in certain areas - it is difficult for those who live there but it provides greater freedom for the rest of the country, for businesses to reopen and for people to get on with their daily lives, and that has to be the way forward if we can."

Telling ministers that pubs and restaurants may have to close at the end of the summer, the scientists said: "It is important to ensure that there will be enough 'room' in terms of the epidemic to open schools in September... there is a strong case for prioritising opening schools over other establishments."

Like the shutdown would last 3 weeks, like we wouldn't need face masks despite a stack of medics saying they were no use etc...

how can we go into another lockdown it will ruin this country, we need to all face it head on. Less than half a % of people have had it anyway. No one wants people to die, but there are handfuls of diseases that kill people everyday, yet we go about our day to day.
