The owner of one of Jersey’s largest coffee chains has described the decision to shut cafes on the island, except for take away, as barbaric and a catastrophe for public mental health .
The new restrictions which come in force today (Saturday 19 December) also put a stop to indoor gatherings, apart from on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
David Warr, the owner of Coopers Tea and Coffee, says the company has had to give staff notice in light of the changes.
He is concerned the closure will impact on the mental health of many customers who have limited opportunities for social interaction.
