Covid update: Rules could be even further tightened - Johnson - BBC News
Boris Johnson calls for unity in a TV address but says too many people have breached the rules.
Among today's announcements is the introduction of a 10pm closing time for the hospitality industry, as well as a table service-only rule.

The news has been greeted with concern by businesses in the sector.

Tom Stainer, chief executive of the Campaign for Real Ale, said pub customers and publicans wanted to stop the spread of the virus but said the government hadn't shown the evidence that pubs were disproportionately contributing to increased infections.

"It is additional pressure on already fragile pubs which are at real risk of closure," he said, pointing out there was currently no support on offer from the government.

Mr Stainer added the curfew would cut into several hours of "high trading times" at a time when the industry needed to pay off debts after the lockdown.

Andy Lennox, founder of Zim Braai restaurants, said his business had lost 30% of its revenue "overnight" with the 10pm closing time and it was going to be "very difficult".

"The big thing now is what the support going to be, we need some kind of more flexi-furlough brought in that will allow us to add new employees to that, the VAT needs to stay - that 5% is massive," he said.

Mr Lennox added that Eat Out To Help Out had helped in August - but had only made back losses the industry had already suffered.
