Quote from inews:
Universities may have to inform the police if students are breaking the rule of six on campus, a top vice-chancellor has said.

Julia Buckingham, the head of Brunel University London and the president of Universities UK, also warned that universities needed local test centres to be operational to stop students potentially spreading the virus.

Speaking exclusively to i, Professor Buckingham said universities would try to manage social distancing requirements within their “existing disciplinary procedures”.
Appears the rule applies to students as well wherever they are.

Quote from The Sun:
Greene King is planning to close 79 pubs and restaurants in a move it's blamed on the government's 10pm entertainment curfew.

The boozer has confirmed 26 sites will permanently shut, while a further 53 will temporarily close with their future remaining in the balance.

Greene King is just the latest chain to announce job cuts after struggling with the coronavirus.

Clive Watson, chief executive of City Pub Group, has warned of more job losses on top. He told The Financial Times earlier this week: “It’s the social distancing. In a pub environment six people at a table is fine but you are not getting the vertical drinking or the big bookings.”

Last week, it was predicted 300,000 jobs would be lost in pubs, bars and breweries if restrictions don’t change.
The curfew is killing the hospitality sector. Restaraunts can only get one cover per table with the early closing.

At our local table service means the staff have to get closer to you, especially for payment, even if contactless than service at the bar was achieving.

The remote gizmo they have only works indoors so if you want a pint in the garden, you have to put on a mask, go to an indoor table, wait to be served, then mask up again to walk 3 yards to the door to the garden where you can then take the mask off again. What a fiasco.
