Hardest hit regions of the UK by Coronavirus




The UK employee numbers fell by 649,000 as people losing jobs during the #Covid-19 crisis. ONS says as #Coronavirus started; universal credit claimants went up. 333,000 people have lost jobs between April to June 2020.
Coronavirus has hit the different regions of the country differently. As per ONS, the Worst hit regions are:
1. North East - 64.3% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
2. Scotland - 62% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
3. South West - 61.9% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
4. Yorkshire & the Humber - 61.2% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
5. West Midlands - 60.9% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
6. North West - 60.1% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
7. East Midlands - 59.3% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
8. South East - 59.2% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
9. London - 58.9% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
10. East of England - 58.7% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
11. Wales - 57.5% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
12. Northern Ireland - 48.9% of businesses reporting a fall in revenue
#Restaurant and #hospitality sectors have been hit hard. Ask Italian and Zizzi are planning to close up to 25 more branches with hundreds of jobs at risk. The threat emerged as Pizza Express prepares to close a possible 75 restaurants, putting more than 1,000 jobs at risk. Azzurri is in trouble and is in talks with their partners and creditors. They operate 311 restaurants and shops in the UK, three in the Republic of Ireland, and one in Shanghai. It employs over 6,000 staff and serves over 20 million meals a year. The firm saw restaurant sales rise 7% to £299m last year but made a loss of £16.3m. Chinatown at Soho, London is highly worried about the future of the restaurants in that area. Restaurants and pubs have opened on 4th July 2020. From August 1 we will reopen most remaining leisure settings, namely bowling, ice-skating rinks, casinos and we will enable close contact services at beauticians to resume. Sadly, customers are still not confident enough to dine in.

How we have made our Laundry Covid-19 Secure

We, Brent Linen Hire, strictly follow the guidelines given by the government for the safety of our colleagues and the cloths of our customers and to make our place and work fully #covid-19 secure.

 .
We have installed a hand sanitizer station in our factory. One is in front of the door (So that nobody takes a virus out), one is inside the door (So that nobody brings any virus with them in the factory.), One in the canteen, and one outside of the toilet. Tiolet and kitchen will always have enough hand washing Liquide. We have a thermometer to measure the temperature. We have offered masks to the staff. Cause of the nature of our work, we stay apart from each other. We have a long table where two ladies were folding the chef jackets. To keep them socially distant, we have got another table for her and put that away from the other table. We have strictly instructed the colleagues to stay away from each other. That is washing men will not come near the folding men or the men working in ironing or sorting and vise versa.

What we do:
1. We wash items customers' cloths #restaurant tablecloths, #chef #uniforms #hiotel, #linen. an all #hospitaliyy cloths as appropriate in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;

2. We dispose of items that are heavily soiled with body fluids, such as vomit or diarrhea, or items that cannot be washed, with the owner’s consent.

3. Store personal waste (such as used tissues, continence pads, and other items soiled with bodily fluids) and disposable cleaning cloths securely within disposable rubbish bags. Place these bags into another bag, tying securely, and keep separate from other waste within the room. This should be put aside for at least 72 hours before being disposed of as normal.

What we do not do::
1. We do not place dirty laundry on the floor or other surfaces to prevent contamination.

2. We do not shake dirty laundry before washing to minimize the possibility of dispersing the virus through the air.

Note: According to Government guidance, we don't need to separate dirty laundry that has been in contact with an ill person from other people’s items.

We have offered a special staff uniform and clothing should be protected from contamination by PPE. Each day after use, all these used uniform go to the washing machine to wash from 75 degrees to 90 degrees and dry afterward in the dryer at 83 degrees for 35 minutes.

Want to dine in your favorite restaurant? What to do to avoid disappointment?




Generally, we book a #restaurant when we go for a meal. There are some fine dining restaurants where you have to book six months in advance if you want to reserve a place. But there are some restaurants who would not take a booking rather serve on a first come first serve basis. Some customers wait for an hour to have their favorite meal.

But due to #coronavirus (#Covid-19), all most all restaurants are taking bookings after opening on the 4th of July, even though they were not taking any booking before. Queuing outside may not be possible as if there is a good number of people wait outside with social distancing of a meter or a meter and a  half, the queue line could go long and unmanageable.

Following restaurants were not taking any booking before but now you can book:

Barrafina
El Pastor
Casa Pastor
Gloria
Circolo Popolare
Dishoom
Caravan
Morito
Snackbar
Vinegar Yard

Most of the customers are eagerly waiting to go for a meal. We hope restaurants, #bars, #pubs #cafes will get lots of customers. Sadly, London still is a ghost city. There is no tourist, theatres are not open, cinemas are open with social distancing rules, only 10 to 15% of the employees are back to work, #coronavirus is still spreading and on top you have congestion charge of £15 from 7 am to 10 pm 7 days a week. It is too early to say what will be the fate of the #restaurants and #hospitality sectors.

Restaurants are facing multiple issues in reopening on July the 4th. What are they?


PM’s announcement of the reopening of #restaurants and #pubs on the 4th of July was welcome by most of the restaurant owners. Sadly, the City of London is still a ghost city and restaurant owners are not as optimistic as they wanted to be. Following are the reasons:
1. The theatres are not open;
2. The cinemas are open with social distancing; 
3. Most of the office workers are working from home; 
4. Tourists are not coming as there is a compulsory isolation rule for tourists.
So not many people are coming to the city

On top of that

5. Restaurant owners will get no rent deduction from landlords or rent grant from the government
6. VAT and Business rates could be delayed but still a burden to the owners
7. Staff will come to work, and the furlough scheme is ending slowly and soon.
8. Those who have taken bounce back loan is also a burden to them (Maybe not now but surely in a year time)
9.  London Mayor Sadik Khan has introduced a congestion charge of £15 from 7 am to 10 pm 7 days a week
10. #Coronavirus (#Covid-19) Pandemic is not over yet as Leicester city has gone to lockdown again;
11. Some scientists suggested that we relaxed the lockdown earlier. The US could have 100,000 cases per day from 40,000 per day due to the early relaxation of lockdown.
12. Restaurants and pubs must prepare for Covid-19 secure; and
13. Last but not least, we are going through #Brexit


On this basis, some high profile restaurant owners have written an open letter signed by St. John owners Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver, as well as Angela Hartnett, chef-owner of the Michelin-starred Mayfair Italian restaurant Murano, Geoff Leong of Chinatown institution Leong’s Legend, the Galvin brothers, and critic Tom Parker Bowles, says that “July 4th is no silver bullet for London Town, hidden by scenes of mobbed urban parks and commons and the crazy seaside on our screens. The center of London remains a ghost town,"

They have called for Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan “to sort out their differences” and to come together to provide businesses with “specific support and action now.”
