The government announced the program, in which diners’ food is partially reduced to a user-friendly cost of 10 euros in August, to deal with the hotel industry’s coronavirus crisis.
But the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) called on ministers to extend the program until September.
Federation President Mike Cherry said: “The Eat Out to Help Out program has been a great fortune in bringing others back to its main streets and urban centers.

Ministers were asked to “get back together” and warned that they deserve to avoid “hiding science” in Covid-19.
This follows another change from government in recommending that pupils and high school wear masks in regular school spaces in local containment spaces in England.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson had insisted in the past that measures taken in schools to restrict the spread of coronavirus meant that the mask would not be necessary.
As schools across England prepare to return next week, Conservative MP Huw Merriman criticized the resolve to cover pupils’ faces and expressed frustration at replacing the clinical recommendation given to politicians.

A WEIGHT NUMBER
Obesity increases the threat of covid-19 death by nearly 50% and would possibly make vaccines against the disease less effective, according to a new study.
The University of North Carolina study found that others with a BMI greater than 30 have a higher threat of coronavirus in all respects.
Their threat to end up in the hospital with Covid-19 is greater than 113%, they are more likely to be admitted to intensive care (74%) and have a higher threat of death (48%) of the virus.
Professor Barry Popkin, from the Department of Nutrition at THE UNC Gillings World School of Public Health, told the Guardian: “This is necessarily a 50% increase. It’s a pretty scary number. All of this is much higher than I expected.

Secretary-General Paul Whiteman said: “Once again, many school leaders will feel that the government has given them the ball and the difficult decision has passed them.
“We will continue to press the government to adopt a transparent and unequivocal line on this issue.
“In the meantime, the NAHT board is that it would be wise for the best schools to ask students and wear hats in corridors and non-unusual spaces unless there is a compelling explanation of why not.
“Being cautious turns out to be a practical technique for assimilating WHO data.”
TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS CHARGED FOR DRIVERS
Drivers across Britain are calling for the removal of the “nightmare” restrictions imposed on the Covid-19.
Critics say the measures have little effect on the transmission of the virus and are used through town halls to put in place “anti-car” policies and expand motorcycle lanes.
Drivers in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, say a 30,000-euro one-way formula has created a “nightmare” for traffic and now takes 40 minutes to get through the city centre.
In London, cars have been banned altogether in some spaces as part of a six-month programme.
Due to the reduced use of the car, the closure in Brighton, new lane systems were introduced for motorcycles, which affected traffic as general life resumed.

A teachers’ union questioned whether the government followed the clinical recommendation or whether it “prioritized political expediency” after changing policy forums for schools in England.
Dr Patrick Roach, general secretary of the NASUWT coaching union, said: “It is deeply regrettable that the government has not addressed the considerations until the last moment imaginable.
“The most recent advertisement on the mask raises serious doubts about whether the government is seriously following the clinical recommendation or simply prioritizing political expediency to meet the Prime Minister’s preference to ensure that each and every school fully reopens at the beginning of the quarter, no matter what.
“This most recent change through the government will raise questions about last Sunday’s issued through top UK medical officials that the threat of coronavirus transmission in schools is low.”
IT DRIVES ME CRAZY
Thousands of students have struggled to get an e-book of their driving tests this morning after the new DVSA crash.

Meetings were held between business leaders and Whitehall officials on how to implement widespread use of cell phones in factories and offices across the country, according to the Financial Times.
Employers testing their staff may even be able to remain open in the event of a local closure, a source told the FT.

BANNED PROTESTS CO-INVITED IN BERLIN
The Berlin government on Wednesday banned several demonstrations planned for the weekend for measures against the coronavirus pandemic.
Officials said protesters would most likely have violated social estrangement regulations designed to prevent the spread of the virus.

Angry teachers warned that having young people wear a mask at school would cause bullying and divert attention from life-saving learning.
Katharine Birbalsingh, founder of Michaela Community School in Brent, north London, told Radio 4’s Today: “The concept that these young people will wear the best mask and will not be intimidated Array … we have to keep that in mind when we know if it will make a difference to the students. ‘security’.
She added: “They will wear a repurposed filthy mask, change it, send them a ping, lick and spit out the mask to make a joke.

Deadly asthma attacks can succeed at “unprecedented levels” when young people return to school after the coronavirus is blocked, experts warn.

This is due to “proactive police activity in prosecuting confinement crimes,” according to the ONS report.
FROM ROCK TO DIFFICULT
Many Britons returning from Gibraltar have to isolate themselves for 14 days. EasyJet took them to Spain after a flight delay.
Smokers returning from rock would have moved away from quarantine because British territory abroad is on the UK virus list.
But their flight to Gatwick was postponed on Monday due to bad weather, so they needed to spend the night.
All rooms on the Med getaway were full, so they had to settle for easyJet’s offer to locate a hotel or sleep on the street.
The cheap airline transported 80 defenceless Britons across the border to Cadiz at Spain’s viral access point.
AIRBNB SELF-ISOLATION
A genuine real estate developer is turning a lawn apartment into a transitional coronavirus self-isolation unit, and rents it at AirBnB.
Prakash Tanna implemented a building permit to convert one of her apartments so it can be used to quarantine the pandemic.
The 43-year-old said the apartment could be rented at a reduced rate for citizens of the Twickenham domain in south-west London, or for those travelling to and from nearby Heathrow.
The self-inglating unit would be rented at AirBnB and tenants living in the main space can use it for free.

GAVIN DEFENDS U-TURN MASK
When asked why the government had made the decision to change the mask in schools, Williamson told Sky News this morning, “We stick to and heed the most productive clinical and medical advice, and that’s why we didn’t present this face. . Politics deserves to be compulsory across the country in all schools.
“The most productive clinical and medical recommendation says it’s not necessary.”
When asked if the government had followed Scotland in the decision, he said: “As you pointed out, what Jenny pointed out is that we do not introduce mandatory face masks in non-unusual spaces across the country in each and every secondary school.
“And that’s not what we’re doing, but we recognize that there are parts of the country where there is a high, or higher, case of coronavirus, so we take an additional precaution.”
SCHOOLS REOPEN IN LEICESTER
