The Government have confirmed that on 19th July 2021 remaining legal limits on social contact will be removed. On question of face coverings, they seem to be back peddling slightly, but are shoving responsibility onto businesses, maybe as a condition of entry or travel. Not sure how the transport unions will react to the potential threat this poses to their members such as bus drivers. In the 7 days to 4th July, admissions to St Peters Hospital are up 1100% (you read that right) albeit from a low base number, and at that point only one patient on a ventilator which is good news. We all still need to be careful and considerate of others as regulations start to relax

We can of course already visit our local for a decent pint with others, subject to rule of six indoors, and don't forget Beers & Brewing for local real ale. Picture shows people enjoying a pint at the London Irish Beer festival in Sunbury back in 2019. For news of 2021 please see Diary & What's On.
