Police chiefs have promised increased patrols to prevent unlicensed events following a spate of parties during the heatwave.

Which businesses can reopen across England from Saturday, August 15?

The tougher enforcement measures come as the Prime Minister confirmed plans to open up more of the economy from Saturday, August 15, potentially adding to the risk of spreading coronavirus.

The moves were postponed from August 1 due to concerns about a slight increase in the number of people in England testing positive but that now appears to have levelled off.

These are the following businesses that can reopen in England from August 15:

  • Indoor theatre, music and performance venues will be able to reopen with socially distanced audiences.
  • The piloting of spectators at sporting events will resume, with a limited number of fans expected to be allowed to watch the World Snooker Championship at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre over the weekend.
  • Casinos, bowling alleys, skating rinks and soft play centres will be allowed to reopen.
  • “Close contact” beauty services such as facials, eyebrow threading and eyelash treatments will resume.
  • Wedding receptions for up to 30 guests will be permitted.
  • Pilots will take place at conference venues ahead of the expected resumption of business events from October 1 at the earliest.

What beauty treatments can now take place?

Close contact services that involve work directly in front of the face will now be available to customers in England from August 15, which include:

  • microblading
  • eyelash and facial treatments
  • eyebrow threading 
  • intricate beard work
  • facial massages
  • facial waxing
  • make up application
  • Botox

What CANNOT reopen across England yet?

Nightclubs, dance halls, and discotheques, as well as sexual entertainment venues and hostess bars, must remain closed.

What about areas where there are local lockdowns in England - are the restrictions being eased there?

The changes will not apply in the specific areas where local restrictions are in place.

What has the PM said?

The Prime Minister said: “Most people in this country are following the rules and doing their bit to control the virus, but we must remain focused and we cannot be complacent.

“That is why we are strengthening the enforcement powers available to use against those who repeatedly flout the rules.

“At every stage I have said our plan to reopen society and the economy is conditional and that it relies on continued progress against the virus.

“Today, we are able to announce some further changes which will allow more people to return to work and the public to get back to more of the things they have missed.

“However, as I have always said, we will not hesitate to put on the brakes if required, or to continue to implement local measures to help to control the spread of the virus.”

Hairdressers will have to wear a face mask AND a clear visor

New guidance will also mean that staff offering “close contact” services, including hairdressers, will now have to wear a face mask as well as a clear visor.

The move, which follows new evidence from the scientific advisory group for emergencies (Sage) is aimed at protecting customers and staff from respiratory droplets caused by sneezing, coughing, or speaking.

The guidance also applies to businesses that operate remotely, such as massage therapists working in people’s homes, and those learning in vocational training environments.

More detail on the new enforcement measures will be set out in the coming week.

Home Secretary Priti Patel said she would not allow progress in tackling the virus to be undermined by “a small minority of senseless individuals”.

“These measures send a clear message – if you don’t cooperate with the police and if you put our health at risk, action will follow.”
