The Government has published its latest detailed guidance to allow pubs, bars and restaurants in England to reopen from July 4.

Here, we take a look at the details on what we can expect.

What's in?

Face coverings for staff - but not clinical face masks and other PPE which are needed in hospitals.

Working from home - unlikely to be an option for most hospitality workers, but it should be encouraged where possible.

Guestbook - venues should keep a record of all their customers for 21 days in order to help the NHS trace any outbreaks.

One-way systems - single-direction traffic inside pubs and restaurants can ensure people do not cross paths.

Extra parking - more parking spaces and bike racks will help customers and staff avoid public transport.

Queues - these should be outside and protected from traffic.

Hand sanitiser - customers should be encouraged to clean their hands when coming into a venue.

Apps - orders should be placed without contact and from the table, including via smartphone apps.

Shift patterns - staff should ideally work with the same team members each time they come to work, to avoid unnecessary contact.

What's out?

Live performances - drama, comedy and music in front of a live audience is not allowed.

Packed venues - even when it is possible to seat lots of people safely inside, it might be unsafe for them to travel to or enter the venue.

Self-service - diners should not be allowed to fetch their own cutlery, condiments or food.

Ketchup bottles - only disposable condiments should be used, or non-disposable condiment containers should be cleaned after each use.

Walls - outdoor areas should be well ventilated, which could involve "increasing the open sides of a covered area", the guidance said.

Lots of waiters - tables should be served by the same person each time.

Toilet doors - customer toilets should be well ventilated, including "fixing doors open where appropriate".

Loud music - people should not have to raise their voices, which can increase transmission.
