The UK government has said it will pay two-thirds of the salaries of bars and restaurants that were forced to close due to coronavirus restrictions.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced the expansion of the employment programme, replacing the holidays, as businesses here in Scotland are preparing to close at 6 p. m. tonight, as a component of a rule, replace national and stricter regulations here in the central belt.
Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon is expected to soon see what Scotland’s announcement will look like soon.
Rishi Sunak said the expansion of the employment programme would protect jobs and provide “insurance and a network of protection” to other people and businesses across the UK in anticipation of a “potentially complicated winter. “
As previously reported in the day, the number of coronavirus cases in Scotland increased to 1246 overnight.
Six new deaths have also been shown in the last 24 hours of others with a proven diagnosis of Covid-19, raising the death toll to 2544.
Speaking at today’s briefing, Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon showed that 440 of the new cases occurred in Greater Glasgow and Clyde, 306 in Lanarkshire and 192 in Lothian.
397 more people have been hospitalized lately, an increase of 20, adding 33 in intensive care, two more than yesterday’s figure.
Central Belt pubs and restaurants will close their outlets from 6pm tonight for 16 days, while swimming pools and billiard lounges, indoor bowling alleys, casinos and bingo halls will close from (October 10) for two weeks.
Residents of Greater Glasgow and Clyde, Lanarkshire, Ayrshire and Arran, Lothian and Forth Valley have also been invited to public navigation unless it is surely necessary.

Glasgow’s bar, pub and restaurant owners and workers are picking up the City Chambers at a non-violent open-air demonstration tonight in a symbolic gesture about the new measures against the coronavirus.
The hotel will dump the ice scraps from tonight’s service, which is expected to end at 6 p. m. tonight under the new restrictions.
Organizers said the action “symbolizes that we have been on the ice for the next 16 days” and that, under existing restrictions, “the hotel industry in Scotland is melting. “
Full story here.
The government will pay two-thirds of the salaries of pubs, restaurants and other businesses if forced to close under the new coronavirus restrictions, the chancellor announced.
Rishi Sunak said the expansion of the employment programme would protect jobs and provide “comfort and a safety net” to other people and businesses in the UK in anticipation of a “potentially complicated winter. “
This occurs when ministers are expected to describe a three-tier local blocking system on Monday, which can see reception sites in temporarily closed coronavirus hot spots to combat the spread of the virus.
Companies whose facilities are legally required to close due to restrictions will get subsidies to pay wages from staff who are not able to work, and the government will pay two-thirds of the employee’s salary (67%) up to a maximum of $2,100 depending on the month. .
Employers will not be required to provide a contribution salary, but will be asked to cover national insurance contributions and pensions.
Companies may apply for the subsidy when they are limited and workers are on leave for at least seven consecutive days.
The programme will be introduced on 1 November and will last for six months, with one in January.
Businesses that are already legally closed, such as nightclubs, will be eligible.
A Treasury source said the expanded employment program would charge “hundreds of millions” of pounds per month.
Ministers will also increase monetary subsidies to businesses in England that are forced to close at constant costs, with subsidies connected to taxable securities.
Every fortnight up to 3000 euros will be paid consistent with the month, the Treasury said.
Sunak told reporters: “Throughout this crisis, my priority has been to protect jobs. So today I am pronouncing an extension of our job aid program, specifically to protect the jobs of other people working in corporations that could be invited closely.
“If this happens, those staff will get two-thirds of their salary at a time when they won’t be able to go to work.
“I hope this provides a network for other people and businesses sooner than it could be a difficult winter. “
The Chancellor denied that it was a well-known licensing program, which in the past had been refused to expand on the grounds that it was “fundamentally wrong” to keep others in jobs that only exist under the program.
He said: “It’s a very different formula than we had before.
“This is not a one-of-a-kind approach, it is an extension of the employment program in particular for others working in corporations that will be officially or legally invited to close. In that sense, it’s very different. “
“I said we will adapt and evolve our reaction as the fitness scenario adapts and evolves.
“That’s what’s going on.
“I think it’s pragmatic and fair. “
However, the new aid is less beneficial than the holiday scheme, which paid 80% of the salaries of millions of employees and has moved away from the high degrees of job loss.
It ends this month and will be replaced through the least beneficiary employment program, where the government will pay up to 22% of the wages of part-time workers.

He said other people avoid overcrowded posts and that this “hasn’t happened” even though it’s “a little less complicated outside. “

The coffee exemption is to give other people who live or run in the house a position to meet with a friend for coffee and verbal exchange in order to “help reduce the loneliness and isolation that accompany those restrictions,” the Prime Minister said.
After widespread confusion over this legal loophole, a café explained through the government as a status quo whose main activity is the sale of comfortable drinks and “snacks or light meals”.
The FM noted the “lack of clarity” and the “anomaly” of alcohol sold in authorized coffee shops, but “sometimes this is the value we pay to be flexible. “
The ban on the sale of alcohol indoors is applied to reduce the number of places where others can meet, he added.
Scotland’s clinical director has admitted that there is no “clear divide” between what is called coffee and what is called a place to eat as new restrictions arise in Scotland tonight.
