Thurrock's bars, pubs, restaurants and cafes to close

By Neil Speight 20th Mar 2020

CAFES, pubs and restaurants must close from tonight (Friday, 20 March) except for take-away food, to tackle coronavirus, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

Night clubs, theatres, cinemas, gyms and leisure centres have also been asked to close "as soon as they reasonably can".

Mr Johnson said that, at present, "we need to keep people apart" - but that the situation will be reviewed each month.
