BREAKING: Outdoor drinking banned as lockdown tightens in Manchester
Drinking outdoors has been banned in Manchester city centre over the weekend due to coronavirus safety fears.
Greater Manchester Police say they will do all they can to ensure the Public Space Protection order is stuck to during the Bank Holiday. People in the city are already banned from meeting people from different households indoors or in private gardens after the Government re-imposed lockdown restrictions in large parts of the north after a spike in Covid-19 cases.
Inspector Jonathan Shilvock said: ‘Unfortunately, due to the current pandemic, events taking place over the bank holiday weekend have had to be cancelled for fears around public health and a possible lack of social distancing.
‘Public health is one of GMP’s priorities and we will do all that we can to ensure the population comply with the legislation, keeping the population safe. We urge anyone planning on gathering in the city centre this weekend to think twice, listen to government guidelines and protect the health of your family and friends by keeping to the social distancing rules this weekend.’
