BRAVO! ZERO COVID CASES PAVE WAY TO NEW FREEDOMS

Ticket and test ...we can entertain you

BRITAIN’S road to freedom has been given a long-awaited boost after a successful test event resulted in zero Covid cases among spectators.

We can reveal that a pilot scheme at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre for the World Snooker Championship has recorded no follow-up cases of the virus.

The spectacularly successful trial means that the green light is now expected to be given for entertainment venues to reopen with full audiences from June 21.

There is now growing confidence that theatres, cinemas and concert venues will be able to welcome audiences back in full provided they adhere to a Covid certificate system.

As the nation’s vaccine rollout surges on, with 33 million first doses already dished out and daily deaths falling to 22 yesterday, the move will be an answer to the prayers of an industry battered by the lockdowns.

An industry source said last night: “The initial findings from Sheffield have been what everybody has been praying for.

“We are now being told that it is pretty much a done deal that social distance requirements will come to an end on June 21 and to prepare accordingly.
