So, we reach Step 2 or 3 on Monday 12th April, depending on if you can count or not, or if you believe that the last step was a mezzanine floor 😉 (blog), and things are gradually reopening from then, it appears. Not to forget that 'non-essential' shops are reopening, and I still don't know how they thought that clothes are inessential, oh yes, and hair dressing and hair cutting, beards etc etc... I used the image above as the Ferris Wheel is due to be open for business too, good stuff, all being well...
Regarding hospitality, only outdoor eating and drinking is allowed from Monday, having to wait until May and when the 3rd or 4th step comes into force for drinkers, and people who enjoy eating out, to be treated like humans at last, although it will still come with mitigations as happened last year. The Pier will have its 'outdoor garden' drinking area, as can already be seen towards the end of the Pier, and at least another 13 pubs have confirmed they will be opening, including the Dolphin Inn, Jenny Lind, Stag Inn, Carlisle, Imperial, Marina Fountain, Bull Inn and Harrow Inn (Observer).
And other attractions, like the Blue Reef Aquarium, will be reopening, but check websites or telephone beforehand, for any restrictions, or if pre-booking is required. And the COVID-19 Crisis is nowhere near over yet...
So please do not forget to wash your hands regularly, maintain social distancing and wear masks where appropriate, stay safe folks! 👍
