Earlier Sunday, British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, insisted he is “sticking like glue” to his plans for easing the lock-down for the hospitality industry from July 4.
“The disease is increasingly under control…so, of course, as we make that progress, it will be possible to open up more and you will be hearing more about what we want to do with not just non-essential retail but with the hospitality sector from July 4,” Johnson said.– NNN-AGENCIES
