Suffolk publicans described the decision to put the county into Tier 4 as for the greater good but called for the government to cover pubs costs while they have to be closed.
Today in a Downing Street press conference Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced that from 12.01am on Boxing, Day Suffolk – along with Tendring, Uttlesford and Colchester – would move into Tier 4 of coronavirus restrictions, meaning hospitality venues must close.
Nick Attfield, director of properties at Adnams, which owns a large number of pubs and hotels in Suffolk and Norfolk, said: The order to close on Boxing Day is disappointing to us but we do understand the need with this new mutant Covid strain.
