Pubs could be ordered to shut in Birmingham as lockdown rules are tightened
Councillor Ian Ward, Leader of Birmingham City Council said today: “While the recent figures show our rates are going down, we cannot be complacent.
"Most importantly staying disciplined now is a price worth paying when compared to the cost of damaging the future life chances of our City’s children – which may happen if there is a spike in the rate of infections and schools have to close, or parents do not send them due to concerns about the potential risks .
The new powers mean cops will be able to intervene to keep citizens safe and stop them from spreading the infection.
