Pubs close again after punters test positive for COVID-19

[BigCloud]

A number of pubs in England have shut after customers tested positive for coronavirus.
At least three establishments announced they had shut their doors again just days after reopening at the weekend.
They were among hundreds of venues that welcomed customers after three months as lockdown measures were eased - most apparently with no problem.
But crowds descending in some towns and cities prompted fears social distancing was being disregarded.
The Lighthouse Kitchen and Carvery in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, said it was "slowly" working through a list of customers who had left details at the weekend and that all staff had tested negative for the virus.
In Batley, West Yorkshire, the Fox and Hounds said a customer had phoned to say they had tested positive for coronavirus.
Meanwhile the landlord of the Village Home Pub in Alverstoke, Hampshire, said his team were awaiting test results after someone in a member of staff's "family bubble" tested positive.

Hardly surprising really. If I'm not wrong, the virus is still here although youd think from the way a lot of people appear to be huddling together it must of disappeared weeks ago.
Now let's wait for all the media bollocks to start up lol.

It's a big problem isn't it. So much pressure to open things up and I understand the economy needs kick starting but it all seems to rely on people being sensible and following the guidelines. The public arnt, that's the problem.

I`m surprised at how quickly somebody becomes ill, gets a teat and gets results back. Had it before they went to pub and didnt know ?
and there is no way of stopping happening again and again.

It's strange that is safe to open pubs and restaurants
