Covidiots strike again
This is why, although our pubs, restaurants and coffee shops have been open since early July, I haven't risked entering one.
A holidaymaker who did not self-isolate after returning from a trip abroad was partly responsible for the “extreme” rise in coronavirus cases in Bolton, its council leader, has said.
Greenhalgh said the area’s high rate had been linked back to pubs in the town and a “cohort of people” who refused to follow the guidance.
The Conservative councillor told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “We had somebody who did not adhere to quarantine, did not stay the 14 days, literally went on a pub crawl with a number of mates.”
He said the person, who tested positive two days after the night out, had visited a number of premises which led to “a large number of individual transmissions”.
