Bars, pubs and eateries urged to stem spread of Covid
BARS, pubs and eateries across Middlesbrough are being urged to play their part in stemming the spread of coronavirus.
The warning from Middlesbrough Council's Public Protection Service follows a spate of flagrant rule breaches after Monday's easing of lockdown restrictions.
While the vast majority are doing their bit and helping to keep people safe, a small number of venues have been found to be failing to implement necessary health protection measures which has raised concerns that coronavirus could easily spread.
The Council's Covid-19 Response Team visited shops and hospitality venues on Monday (April 12) as the new rules came into effect to provide advice and guidance to protect both customers and staff.
