Emma McClarkin (centre) is now urging the Government to support the industry even after lockdown ends<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And she warned that even when they reopen people could be reluctant to socialise in large numbers.<\/p>\n

Ms McClarkin said the Government must support the industry even after the lockdown ends<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She said: “If you are looking to reopen pubs at the end of summer<\/a>, it is looking very stark indeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could be losing 40 per cent of our businesses.”<\/p>\n

In future staff will likely show customers to a table to take their orders<\/a> and may also monitor toilets to check on social distancing.<\/p>\n
