Are pubs and restaurants actually closing on Monday?

[Whenwilligrowup]

All I can see on the news is that it's rumoured that they may close (in 'The North'!) But can't see anything official. Is it confirmed ?
Mainly asking as I have a shopping trip and overnight stay in Manchester booked for November

According to some news papers its any area with infection over 50 per 100k - so most of the country!
Nothing confirmed

They might be open again by November.
But yes think they will close next week for two weeks to start with.

I wish an official announcement could be made to let us know either way. People want know if their workplaces will be open, I certainly do.

I've heard it's all leisure and hospitality, not just pubs and restaurants. So that includes hairdressers, gyms etc. I really hope not. So many businesses must be so worried right now

Oh dear ! I wonder if there's anywhere not in those statistics I could change it to 🤔( yes I sound selfish but I have depression and need a break from my kids!! )

@Wherearefoxssocks aggh! Also have a trip to Alton Towers with my DH and DCs booked on the 30th ....wonder what this means for that. Knew I shouldn't have said anything. Ds is autistic and has been watching videos of the rides for three weeks 🤦
