With lockdown restrictions beginning to ease many businesses are turning their thoughts to reopening safely.

Currently the government is looking to reopen non-essential retail in a phased way from June 1, subject to it being safe to do so, with the tourism industry given a date of July 4 to tentatively work towards.

A number of food businesses that are able to operate via a takeaway service have already begun to reopen within the current guidelines and many more are preparing to do so in the coming days and weeks.
