BCC responds to new social distancing measures

Responding to the Prime Minister’s announcement of further restrictions to tackle the spread of Coronavirus this evening (Monday 23^rd March), BCC Director General Adam Marshall said:

“Businesses must play their part to help limit the spread of Coronavirus.

“As the UK goes into lockdown, ministers must be crystal-clear about which businesses can continue to operate, and those which must now shut their doors.

“The new restrictions make it all the more important that the package of financial support announced by ministers last week is delivered to firms and employees on the ground as quickly as possible.”
