UK PUBS may be forced to close for the second time after shocking scenes occurred last night. Many videos and images from pubs across the UK showed people not observing social distancing and, in fact, stood very close together.
The issue may be partly because many flocked to the public areas outside these pubs. Such public areas are not regulated in terms of the social distancing – and this is where many of the “ram packed” scenes were observed last night.

Surely concerns will be raised about this issue. More stringent enforcing of social distancing guidelines may be implemented.
