A new coronavirus law affecting how people eat out and socialise will come into force this Friday. The rule for pubs, cafes and restaurants will also apply to other hospitality business, close contact venues such as beauty salons and tourist attractions such as zoos.
The next change, announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, will make a difference to anyone planning on eating or drinking in a venue from this Friday.
It could also apply to anyone getting a haircut, or visiting a cinema, bowling alley or amusement arcade. The change in the law means that all venues will have to take contact details for people who are eating or drinking in, but not those taking away.
