The significance of these measures cannot be underestimated.

It is being widely reported by the UK media that Prime Minister Boris Johnson will allow UK nightclubs to reopen from June 21st 2021 with larger events to follow. The significance of these measures cannot be underestimated. Nightlife will be able to open up under 'stage 4' of the reduction of social distancing measures.

There is hope for some venues that can accommodate on-site rapid testing. Lateral flow testing gives a result within 30 minutes and would be a way that venues could reopen safely. This would mean all those attending an event would need to swab either their nose or mouth and wait for a result before being allowed in. Lateral flow tests are currently offered to NHS staff, care homes, schools and universities.


The idea is that in combination with the vaccine and on-site testing, venues would be allowed to run events.
