U.K. cinemas will not re-open before July 4th according to new coronavirus recovery plan put out by the British government on Monday afternoon.
The sixty-page document states that cinemas are part of a ‘high-risk’ group of businesses alongside other leisure facilities such as hair & beauty salons, pubs and places of worship that will be the last to re-open from July 4th onwards.
All businesses will need to meet the government’s COVID-19 secure guidelines for their respective sectors, which are expected to be unveiled this week. Even by that date, it is not guaranteed that all venues will be able to open.
Boris Johnson’s government says they will also “carefully phase and pilot re-openings” to test a venue’s ability to adhere to new guidelines.
