Coronavirus: pubs in GB reopen, even Wales announces the ok

(ANSA) - LONDON, JUL 10 - The race to the highly anticipated reopening of pubs in the United Kingdom continues, amid measures of progressive relaxation of the restrictions imposed for more than three months since the lockdown due to the coronavirus, despite some controversy on the images of crowds and recklessness on the part of the former patrons last weekend in London and elsewhere. The go-ahead announced in early July for England by Boris Johnson's central government Tory has already been followed by that of the local authorities of Northern Ireland and, since 15 July, by the local Scottish government led by the independentist Nicola Sturgeon.
