I found this significant from Phase 3, due to start 29th June:
* open non-essential retail outlets with street level entrance and exit
This suggests to me a concern about stairwells and lifts.
It looks like 20th July ... the target date for reopening of hairdressers, there'll be great demand for their services when they re-open.
Photos or it didn't happen!!I booked my appointment this morning at 9:30! Salon phone not working, but I happened to have the stylists private phone number. I booked in for the works! Can’t wait!
Perhaps the silver lining in our ICU capacity and testing shortcomings necessitating a lockdown extension is that there is at least the possibility that we will observe and learn what works for other countries.It's good that we are not 1st to open as we have one of the worst Health Set-ups in EU,
In a few weeks time construction sites, DIY stores and repair shops will be allowed to open provided they have social distancing. Why do we have to wait?
The R nought is below 1 and ICU occupancy is falling so it seems the likely reason we have to wait is that the testing regime isn't yet in place, for the early detection of flareups . . to prevent a leap in cases which would result in the paltry number of available ICU beds filling up in a heartbeat.Why do we have to wait?
The Re-Opening has already begun. Two days ago (Sunday of Bank Holiday) I had my usual walk, but at 3.00pm (not my usual 10.00am). I can safely say I saw more cars flying past than even on a normal Sunday this time last year. Certainly, there were people visiting houses, converging on beauty spots in numbers etc. I even came on a back-up of traffic on a roundabout with a turn off for public walks/beaches. Not only were these places not within 2kms but not even within 5kms. We've been so conscious of the emergency up to then and showed the rest of europe how people should behave in such a pandemic. Suddenly, that's all stopping now.
