CAFES, pubs and restaurants across Teignbridge must close from Friday night, except for takeaway food, to tackle coronavirus, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has declared.

All the UK’s nightclubs, theatres, cinemas, gyms and leisure centres have also been asked to close ‘as soon as they reasonably can’.

During his statement to the nation on Friday afternoon Mr Johnson said the situation will be reviewed each month.

The chancellor has said the government will pay 80 per cent of wages for employees who are not working, up to £2,500 a month.
