This policy is harmful, most businesses are still recovering from the initial lockdown this extension of business hours would be hugely beneficial for businesses as well as working with the government to safeguard the general public.
The new measures of only table service and wearing face masks when not seated makes the indusry safer.
This extension would support the economy, businesses, jobs and would be a welcomed action to ease social tension in these unprecedented times.
