Commenting on the Government’s recent announcement of the relaxation of social distancing measures, Jasmine Whitbread, CEO at London First, said:
“While the two-metre social distancing rule made sense at the height of the pandemic, these changes reflect the importance of other increasingly important factors like mental health and economic recovery.
“Many sectors will be able to reopen more easily as a result of the new rules and for hospitality, leisure and retail in particular, there will be a collective sigh of relief that this has been confirmed.
“The Government will need to communicate clearly as things change and evolve during recovery, which is key to giving Londoners and businesses confidence.”
