Can you still get a takeaway after 10pm?

In response to a rising number of coronavirus cases, this week Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a curfew for businesses within the hospitality sector. Restaurants, pubs and bars will

now have to close by 10pm. The new restrictions are a move the Government hopes will help contain the spread of coronavirus. In recent weeks the UK has seen a rise in the number of COVID-19

cases recorded, prompting concerns about a second wave of infections. Public Health England said on Thursday, September 24 a further 6,634 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed - the highest

number of daily cases in the UK since the start of the pandemic. On Friday, September 25, this increased further, with 6,874 cases confirmed. Yvonne Doyle, Medical Director at Public Health

England, said on Thursday: "This is the highest number recorded and a stark warning for us all. READ MORE: MORRISONS, ALDI AND TESCO RATION FOOD AS FOOD SHORTAGE FEARS RISE Face

coverings will need to be worn while visiting a hospitality venue, but do not have to be worn while eating or drinking. The new rules have now come into force and will be in place for the

foreseeable future. The PM has warned the current lockdown rules could remain in place for at least six months if cases of coronavirus do not decrease. The introduction of the restricted

opening hours came into place in England from Thursday this week, but lockdown rules may differ in other regions of the UK. CAN YOU STILL GET A TAKEAWAY AFTER 10PM? Takeaway services have

been included in the Government’s new curfew rule, meaning you will not be able to pick up a takeaway after 10pm. However, delivery services will still be able to operate after 10pm under

the new rules. You will also be able to use drive-thrus at your favourite fast-food venues, such as McDonald’s and KFC. The Government said: “Businesses and venues selling food for

consumption off the premises, can continue to do so as long as this is through delivery service or drive-thru.”
