BUSINESSES in Henley are celebrating a partial return to normal after the third national coronavirus lockdown was eased.
From Monday, shops not considered “essential” by the Government were permitted to
re-open with social distancing measures in place and customers and staff required to wear face coverings and sanitise their hands.
Restaurants, pubs, bars and cafés, which could only serve takeaways after the lockdown was imposed on December 28, can now serve food and drink outdoors to groups of up to six people from different households.
Beauty salons, barbers and hairdressers can also trade while taking precautions, including partitioned areas for each customer and regular cleaning of tools and workstations.
