Guidance on the opening of certain businesses and venues

Back in March, (on the 23^rd), central Government introduced restrictions on which businesses and venues were required to reduce the spread of Covid-19.

Businesses providing essential goods and services were, and continue to be permitted, to remain open while all others were to close. From the 4^th July 2020, a number of these businesses and venues will be allowed to re-open. Below is a simple summary of which businesses will be allowed to re-open and which will need to remain closed for the time being, as I’m sure this will affect many of you.
