História | Pubs have been some of the hardest hit businesses in the pandemic, affecting owners and employees alike, with forced closures and financial hardship under lockdowns - and one of the main reasons that pubs have been able to reopen their doors is down to the NHS vaccination programme. After all, pubs remaining open is vital if British life is to get back to normal, as pubs are basically the nation’s collective living rooms. July 19th was the first day that many pubs could reopen because it hadn’t been profitable for them to do so beforehand due to lack of outside space or down to the size of the premises. It’s vital that they can continue to remain open and remain safe spaces - and the key to that is a successful vaccination rate, which the jab beer mats hope to boost. |
