Pubs could reopen next month as Boris Johnson gives hope to Brit boozers - The Sun

The PM said pubs, restaurants and hotels may all reopen next month.

The hospitality sector was due to be shuttered until July 4 at the earliest under the PM’s roadmap for easing restrictions.

He said: "It is really difficult to bring forward hospitality measures in a way that involves social distancing.

The news will bring a smile to the nation who face another month without being able to return to the pub.

It says: "All other sectors that are currently closed, including hospitality and personal care, are not able to re-open at this point because the risk of transmission in these environments is higher.

His words came as he revealed that the Government is aiming to reduce the two-metre social distancing rule to help pubs and shops reopen soon.

He said he hoped once the virus rates go down "we will be able to reduce that distance" and get bars up and running again.

He said: "[There is a] considerable reduction in risk at that distance, compared to a smaller gap.

we will be able to reduce that distance which I think will be particularly valuable on (public) transport and in the hospitality sector.
