Non-essential retailers to open from mid-June

Josh Hardie, CBI Deputy Director General, said:

"As our high streets slowly reawaken, this new guidance is important for businesses on the ground.

"Our shops are doing all they can to keep the public and their staff safe, and we’ve seen many retailers leading from the front with innovative solutions to do just that.

"As more and more businesses turn their attention to reopening, this guidance will help them plan to do so safely and securely."
