<p>We are working at pace to develop safe ways for pubs, restaurants, bars and cafes
to reopen at the earliest opportunity it is safe to do so, through our pubs and restaurants
taskforce. As set out in the roadmap, it is our ambition to reopen pubs, cafes, bars
and restaurants from 4 July at the earliest, subject to the scientific advice at the
time. However, pubs, restaurants and cafes can continue to offer takeaway-enabled
services as they have been during lockdown.</p><p> </p><p>Our guidance forms part
of employers’ normal health and safety practice. Health and safety legislation is
enforced by the Health and Safety Executive, the Health and Safety Executive for Northern
Ireland and by local authorities. Social distancing is a key part of our scientific
advice. This will be considered by employers as part of their risk assessment.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>If the enforcing authority finds that an employer is not taking action
to properly manage workplace risk, a range of actions are is open to them, including
specific advice or issuing enforcement notices.</p>
