answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2021 answer text <p>Throughout the pandemic, we have consistently adapted our response as we have learnt more about the virus and how best to tackle it. Automatic car washes were permitted to operate during the most recent lockdown, recognising the low risk of transmission they posed. Jet car washes, including those that are self-serviced, are not fully automatic and were therefore required to close.</p><p>The Government published the ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-response-spring-2021" target="_blank">COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021</a>’, on 22 February, providing a roadmap out of lockdown restrictions in England. As a result of progress made against the virus, England was able to move to Step 2 on 12 April. All car washes, including jet washes, are now permitted to open.</p><p>We keep our measures under constant review so as to reflect the latest science and clinical data.
