Around 19,000 pubs may not be able to reopen again following the coronavirus crisis, hospitality bosses have warned. It comes as Boris Johnson tonight announced parts of the hospitality sector - including pubs and bars - must remain closed until at least July.

The Prime Minister said that though he hoped some venues could begin to open within months, the UK should "not be driven by economic necessity".
