What's left to reopen...

[foreverblowingbubbles87]

With spas etc opening on Monday and pools and gyms on the 25th I am just wondering what else there is that remains closed?

Sunday School, Butlins and can only have extractions at the dentist. No fillings allowed and can't recement a crown 🙁

Although dentists are open for some emergency treatments, and non aerosol routine stuff, we are still only allowed to see a maximum of ten patients per day. Potentially it could be months until we are allowed to use a drill!

All of my kid's activities and actually going back to school. They're so fed up. 9 year old DD was in tears tonight because she's so bored of teaching herself.

Beauticians and spas are reopening on Monday...

Yes but treatments will be limited to nothing to do with the face - so no eyebrows, botox, fillers etc.

I should have read the full thread ...

Beauticians are not reopenibg - nail bars may be but no facials.
No indoor theatre. No bowling alleys. No corporate events (my friend makes her living organising these so she is well annoyed).

Soft play. Play cafes indoor golf bowling alleys.

Theatres. One of my DC works in one.
Cinemas?
GP services are very curtailed.
No routine cancer screening.

However, I was allowed to bring my partner to my hospital appointment- I double checked. Several others there also had partners with them.

Church bellringing, except for family groups.

We are in wales and my daughters gymnastics club and dance classes are still not allowed to meet.
Also girlguiding are still at a stop

Lots of councils still haven’t opened play areas in parks! Schools still closed for all my kids

My muscles and pelvic girdle miss my osteopath dearly.
Swimming was mentioned but call me cynical, I'm not holding my breath on practical guidance suitable to reactivate my DCs' swimming lessons. Or just children splashing around for fun. Not after the playgrounds/ schools debacles.
Schools. Hopefully September, but not looking like business as usual.
Volunteering in school. Not viable with this bubbles crap. More disadvantage for children needing support in an underfunded system.
Children's youth groups and indoor play.
Indoor theatre and entertainment.
Parkrun, running races.

We are crawling our way out of lockdown, but it's a long way to a normal, spontaneous way of life.

@BogRollBOGOF my osteopath is open and working with full PPE!

Schools?

We already now that these are due to be opening FT to all pupils from September (August in Scotland) and that they are - and always have been - open to some pupils throughout. We only have one more week of term left in England so no point now anyway, and I think Scotland holidays have already started,

Hopefully September, but not looking like business as usual.

Primary schools will be almost normal based on the guidelines we've had from school. No big assemblies and whole school events, but full classes and no social distancing.

No Hip Clinic. Phone consultation only. No physio

Schools have not been open to either of my children throughout, one with SN who needs full-time 1 to 1 so I've had to give up work. I do not know yet if they will be back full time in September, school will tell us last day of term if they can do this.

charity shops are open here, squee! At least a few of them, which is better than none. I bought a shirt today. Everything slightly smells I find, though. There's a weird scent on the shirt. I got my car MoTd today & that has a disinfectant stink in it afterwards, too. But at least the job is done.

We're waiting for scouts to restart and Rugby training to recommence. Our scout group runs a Zoom call weekly which has been good, but not the same as a meeting. DS is desperate for rugby to start again, I believe they're at the position that they can start training in small non contact groups soon.
