High street pub chain Fuller’s has stepped in to save its landlords following the company’s decision to close doors at the request of the Government.
Fuller’s was ordered to shut all of its pubs and restaurants, along with other pub chains, last Friday by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said closures would help people adhere to social distancing advice.
Johnson’s request came as the country’s total number of coronavirus cases hit 5,000, with deaths almost reaching 300. For weeks the Prime Minister had asked people to stay inside to curb the pandemic, which is sweeping across the globe, so COVID-19 does not overwhelm the NHS.
