What North Yorkshire businesses had to say about Freedom Day
AS Covid restrictions eased across the country yesterday to mark the start of "Freedom Day", The Northern Echo spoke to businesses in the region to see how they got on.
With the requirement to wear masks being lifted and the decision to wear one being left to the customer, businesses in the region found reception to the changes was mixed.
Most businesses welcomed the changes and were happy to see things, mostly, going back to normal.
Other restrictions that were lifted included the limit on the number of people who can meet, nightclubs are able to reopen and pubs and restaurants no longer have to carry out table service.
