There are now 200 confirmed Covid-19 cases linked to the coronavirus outbreak at a Welsh meat factory .
Public Health Wales ( PHW ) has confirmed 25 more cases at the 2 Sisters chicken processing plant , which employs about 500 people in Llangefni on Anglesey .
Now three Welsh meat plants have Covid-19 among its workers - with 34 cases linked to Kepak in Merthyr Tydfil and 70 at Rowan Foods in Wrexham .
Wales ' health minister said government will see if the sector should improve .
PHW have carried out more than 450 Covid-19 tests as a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the reason why schools will not open in the county on Monday .

The chicken processing plant in Llangefni , the smallest of food giant 2 Sisters ' 12 plants across the UK , has temporarily closed as a result of the outbreak .
`` Incidents like this are a reminder that coronavirus is still circulating , sometimes invisibly , and that we all need to be vigilant , '' said Dr Graham @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is one of the UK 's biggest food manufacturing companies , employing about 18,000 people across the country and with an estimated £3bn annual turnover .
2 Sisters supply major outlets like Marks & Spencer , KFC , Asda and Aldi - although the company say none of their major customers are supplied from the Anglesey plant .
Health Minister Vaughan Gething said there was no evidence of wider community transmission following the outbreaks at 2 Sisters and Rowan Foods - and did not see a need for local lockdowns in response .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ food processing plants had been a feature of the pandemic around the world and food producers had been `` generally good '' at complying with Covid-19 workplace regulations .
However , he said : `` We also know in the meat processing sector , operating margins can be very tight , many people are employed on fairly low pay and levels of statutory sick pay mean many people feel they have no choice but to carry on working when they are ill. '' The minister said the government would look at the sector @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time '' to understand if officials needed to do more .
Cases of coronavirus have generally fallen across Wales , Mr Gething said , with fewer than 100 cases each day in the first few weeks of June .
But he revealed on Tuesday that there had been 34 cases associated with Kepak in Merthyr Tydfil since April , with eight new cases since the start of June - on top of the 200 cases at 2 Sisters and 70 at the Rowan Foods outbreak in Wrexham .

In a letter seen by BBC Wales , Unite regional officer David Griffiths says one of the workers who tested positive for Covid-19 returned to work after isolating for six days .
People who have tested positive must self-isolate for at least seven days from when their symptoms began .
He writes : `` The reason for my letter/email is to raise specific and extremely worrying and developing issues at the Wrexham site .
`` We have had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ongoing situation of colleagues being tested as Covid-19 positive that were in work immediately before their positive tests . ''
He added he had been told a manager `` returned within six days of a positive Covid-19 test '' .
`` This being a food manufacturer I am astonished at this happening , '' he wrote .
He said after two managers tested positive `` no care or consideration '' was made to workers who came into contact with those infected .

`` We have reviewed potential risks of Covid-19 and have proactively made significant operational changes at the site to maintain social distancing , including various mitigations such as screens and visors , '' it said .
`` In addition , we have implemented a behavioural safety system and social distancing champions throughout the factory to ensure colleagues are socially distancing . ''
What is happening at Kepak ?
Jason Stevens , Usdaw union area organiser , said the priority at Kepak was to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ensure that they are adhered to '' .
He added : `` Risk assessments continue and along with our Usdaw reps on site we are holding regular meetings with the company seeking to improve safety on site . ''

`` However , we are identifying previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ltd with the infection . ''

Economic forecasters believe it will be at least 18 months before Scotland makes up the output lost due to the Covid-19 pandemic .
The Fraser of Allander Institute said the country was now in its deepest recession in living memory .
A report from the think tank said in the most optimistic scenario , it will be the end of 2021 before the economy recovers .

Even assuming the easing of restrictions goes `` smoothly '' , the research body said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pre-crisis levels until late 2021 or early 2022 .

The institute 's latest economic commentary said the immediate priority for many businesses is simply survival .
Prof Graeme Roy , director of the institute , said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ result of the major government support initiatives that have been put in place the impact of the full effects of the crisis have been dampened .

bbcuk--2020-06-24--Coronavirus: Filipino healthcare workers 'need extra protection'

Filipino healthcare workers should be given `` additional protection '' against Covid-19 so they can work safely , the Filipino UK Nurses Association says .
It comes after a major study concluded South Asian people were 20 % more likely to die with Covid-19 after being admitted to hospital in the UK .
In Wales , seven of the 16 health workers who have died with coronavirus were originally from the Philippines .
The Welsh Government has been asked to comment .
According to the study , other minority ethnic groups did not have a higher death rate .
Katherine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Community Empowerment in Wales - who is also an agency nurse - said : `` Most of us here are on the front line and that has scared us . ''
Mrs Rose , who has worked as a nurse in Wales for nearly 20 years , said she did not work during the first two weeks of the crisis but quickly decided she needed to help .
`` I have the skills , why would n't I be involved ?
And I want to be there , that 's the reason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what I love doing , '' she added .
The UK has one of the highest levels of foreign-born nurses in the EU , with an estimated 40,000 Filipino staff employed in the NHS .
Mrs Rose said she believes the hard-working nature of Filipinos means many are unwilling to refuse to work , but she implored her compatriots to make their voices heard .
`` I think for my fellow Filipinos here , I think we should be more assertive , '' she said .
`` If you feel like you 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go where you feel unsafe . ''
Filipino nurse leader Francis Fernando , of the Filipino UK Nurses Association , said : `` I definitely think that Filipino healthcare workers and BAME staff must be given additional protection against Covid-19 so that we can work safely .
Last week , Rizal Manalo became the seventh Filipino nurse to die in Wales after contracting Covid-19 .
The 51-year-old father-of-two worked at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Denbighshire and was treated at the hospital 's critical care unit before his death .
Coroner for north Wales @ @ @ @ @ @ @ full inquest was needed into his death because it was likely that Mr Manalo , of Rhyl , had acquired the virus in his workplace and issues such as the availability of personal protection equipment needed to be considered .
According to Mrs Rose , at the start of the pandemic , many Filipino nurses started wearing face masks without being told by their managers , but alleges many were told to take them off .
`` Some of the managers asked 'why are you wearing a mask ?
You will scare the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to obey because that 's what the management says , '' she added .
In April , Linnette Cruz , 51 , a senior head nurse at a practice in Sketty , Swansea , died as well as Leilani Medel , who worked as an agency nurse at several care homes across south Wales .
Her husband also battled coronavirus in hospital .
Meanwhile , Julius Sana , 40 , a healthcare support worker at St Peter 's Hospital , Newport , also died .
Colleagues Dominga David , 62 , a nurse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 44 , from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board , both died on 26 May .
Lalaine Lopez Pesario , 54 , who worked at Mumbles Nursing Home also died in May .
Last week findings of a major analysis were made public , concluding that South Asian people are the most likely to die from coronavirus after being admitted to hospital in the UK .
It looked at nearly 35,000 Covid-19 patients in 260 hospitals across England , Scotland and Wales up until the middle of May .
The researchers , from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policies such as protecting people at work and who gets a vaccine may now need to change .
It is the largest study of its type in the world , and showed 290 die out of every 1,000 white people needing hospital treatment for Covid-19 , while the number for South Asian people was 350 .
According to Prof Ewen Harrison , from the University of Edinburgh , around 40 % of South Asian patients in hospital due to Covid-19 had either type 1 or type 2 diabetes compared with 25 % of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a major factor .

Coroner for north Wales east and central John Gittings said a full inquest was needed into his death because it was likely that Mr Manalo, of Rhyl, had acquired the virus in his workplace and issues such as the availability of personal protection equipment needed to be considered.


bbcuk--2020-06-24--Coronavirus: UK must prepare for second virus wave - health leaders

Health leaders are calling for an urgent review to determine whether the UK is properly prepared for the `` real risk '' of a second wave of coronavirus .
In an open letter published in the British Medical Journal , ministers were warned that urgent action would be needed to prevent further loss of life .
The presidents of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons , Nursing , Physicians , and GPs all signed the letter .
It comes after Boris Johnson announced sweeping changes to England 's lockdown .
The Department of Health said it would continue to be guided @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give the NHS `` whatever it needs '' .
On Tuesday , the prime minister said pubs , restaurants , cinemas and hairdressers will be able to reopen from 4 July .
• Why are and swimming pools still closed ?
Your questions answered The 2m social-distancing rule will be replaced with a `` one-metre plus '' rule , meaning people should stay at least 2m apart where possible , but otherwise should remain at least 1m apart while taking steps to reduce the risk of transmission , such as wearing face coverings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scotland , Wales , and Northern Ireland , however .
Both the government 's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance and the chief medical officer for England Professor Chris Whitty stressed Mr Johnson 's plan was not `` risk-free '' at Tuesday 's final daily Downing Street coronavirus briefing .
• New guidance for businesses in England • Is a second wave of coronavirus on the way ?
Following the prime minister 's announcement , health leaders called for a `` rapid and forward-looking assessment '' of how prepared the UK would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` While the future shape of the pandemic in the UK is hard to predict , the available evidence indicates that local flare-ups are increasingly likely and a second wave a real risk , '' they wrote in the letter .
`` Many elements of the infrastructure needed to contain the virus are beginning to be put in place , but substantial challenges remain . ''
The authors of the letter , also signed by the chair of the British Medical Association , urged ministers to set up a cross-party group with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nations approach '' , tasked with developing practical recommendations .
`` The review should not be about looking back or attributing blame , '' they said , and instead should focus on `` areas of weakness where action is needed urgently to prevent further loss of life and restore the economy as fully and as quickly as possible '' .
Former Conservative health secretary Jeremy Hunt told BBC Radio 5 Live 's Emma Barnett that he did not think it was the right time for a public inquiry , which would take up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thought there was a `` very real risk '' of a second wave .
`` You just have to look to Germany , which has had one of the best responses to the pandemic and they have got this big issue at a meat processing plant with thousands of people infected ; look at South Korea which had to trace the contacts of 1,700 people after a nightclub incident - that 's another country which has had a very good response to coronavirus , '' he said .
`` In the places which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are dealing with these spikes and we have to recognise there is a very real risk of that here too . ''
Talk of a dreaded second wave will dominate the coming weeks and months .
The UK will need to be prepared for one .
But as the health leaders acknowledge , it 's not possible to predict for sure if one will actually happen .
What is certainly a given , is there will be local flare-ups where we see clusters of infections in places .
This has already happened in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what is important to recognise is that the UK is in a completely different position to where it was in March when the first wave hit .
Testing capacity has gone from a few thousand a day to 200,000 to identify those infected .
There is a network of contact tracers to find those that might be infected .
There are still weaknesses - some tests take too long to turnaround , while the tracing system is still bedding in and the app is not ready .
But there is a realistic chance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ importantly , the public keeps playing its part by both continuing to adhere to social distancing and complying with requests to self-isolate if they test positive or are identified as a close contact of an infected person , that the virus will be largely kept at bay .
Read more analysis from Nick here .
A Department of Health spokesperson said : `` Thanks to the dedication of NHS staff , hospitals have not been overwhelmed and intensive care capacity continues to meet the needs of patients .
`` Effective local management of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ protection against a second wave .
In the event the local response is not sufficient to contain outbreaks , the government would reintroduce measures if necessary to contain the virus and stop it spreading to the wider population . ''

Swissport is set to cut more than half of its UK workforce as air companies struggle with the effects of the coronavirus crisis .
It is consulting on cutting up to 4,556 jobs , the GMB union said .
Chief executive Jason Holt said the company had to reduce the size of its workforce to survive .
Swissport operates at airports across the UK , including Heathrow and Gatwick , which are among those badly hit by the crisis .
Air travel collapsed around the world after governments imposed travel restrictions during coronavirus lockdowns .
While some airlines are making @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as lockdowns lift , Swissport has said its revenue is forecast to be almost 50 % lower than last year due to the crisis .
Mr Holt said in a message to staff : `` We must do this to secure the lifeline of funding from lenders and investors to protect as many jobs as possible in the UK and Ireland .
`` It 's true that we 've seen tough times before - volcanic cloud , 9/11 , the financial crisis - and we 've weathered these .
But this time it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anything like Covid-19 in our lifetimes .
`` We are now facing a long period of uncertainty and reduced flight numbers , along with significant changes taking place to the way people travel and the way goods move around the world .
`` There is no escaping the fact that the industry is now smaller than it was , and it will remain so for some time to come . ''
Swissport employs about 8,500 workers at airports , including baggage handlers and check-in staff .
The GMB union said the announcement was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set to be lost that were essential for regional economies .
Nadine Houghton , national officer of the GMB , said : `` With Swissport now considering job cuts on this scale we have deep concerns about the viability of many of our regional airports and the benefits for regional connectivity that they bring . ''

It is also entirely unnecessary - the government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme remains in place - these workers could continue to be furloughed. There is no need for any job-losses at this time. This is a disgraceful move solely rooted in the need to secure corporate profits," said George Brash, Unite Regional Officer for Swissport workers in Belfast.

Labour is attempting to force Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick to publish all documents relating to a controversial planning decision .
Mr Jenrick approved the scheme 12 days before the developer gave £12,000 to the Conservative Party .
Labour says the timing raises `` cash for favours '' suspicions - but Mr Jenrick insists he did nothing wrong .
Shadow housing secretary Steve Reed is pushing for a Commons vote to force the release of documents .
The Conservatives ' 80 seat majority means Labour is unlikely to win the vote .
Business Secretary Alok Sharma told BBC Radio 4 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with all propriety '' and , as his colleague had already answered questions about it in the Commons , `` this should be the end of the matter '' .

The developer , former Daily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Conservative Party £12,000 two weeks after the scheme was approved , in January .
Labour says the timing of the decision to approve the scheme - just a day before a new community infrastructure levy came into force - would have saved Mr Desmond 's Northern and Shell company up to £50m .

Labour says Mr Jenrick also overruled his advisers to reduce the amount of affordable housing required in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further £106m .
Mr Jenrick 's decision was challenged by Tower Hamlets Council , forcing the secretary of state to back down and say what he did was `` unlawful by reason of apparent bias '' .
Councillors asked the High Court to order the government to disclose emails and memos around the deal .
Rather than doing this , Mr Jenrick 's lawyers conceded the timing of his decision `` would lead the fair-minded and informed observer to conclude that there was a real possibility '' that he had been biased .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ this month , Mr Jenrick said it was `` not unusual '' for the secretary of state to reach a different conclusion from councils or planning inspectors on the most `` contentious '' applications .

Mr Reed said : `` The secretary of state has admitted he knew his unlawful , biased decision to approve Richard Desmond 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ donor up to £150m , but there are still far too many questions left unanswered . ''
He added that if Mr Jenrick `` has nothing to hide then he has nothing to fear from publishing these documents '' .

Coleen Rooney 's lawyers say it 's `` disappointing '' that Rebekah Vardy 's started legal action against her .
Court records show that proceedings for defamation have been registered at the High Court in London .
The women had a very public falling-out last year over what was nicknamed the 'Wagatha Christie ' affair .
Coleen Rooney claimed she 'd discovered that stories leaked to a tabloid newspaper could only have been seen by Rebekah Vardy 's social media account .
It was the kind of story the internet thirsts for - one that seemed to jump straight out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so that many online commentators seemed to forget that there were - and are - real people involved .
It also gave birth to one of the most famous ellipses ( three dots , grammar fans ) of modern times in Coleen 's affirmation that `` it 's ... Rebekah Vardy 's account . ''
In a lengthy online post , she had claimed a number of stories about her had ended up in the papers and she took it upon herself to investigate .
`` To try and prove this , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with an idea .
I blocked everyone from viewing my Instagram stories except one account ... '' Now I know for certain which account/individual it 's come from .
I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them . ''

The number of people in England waiting longer than six weeks for tests and scans increased five-fold between March and April .
The Labour Party is calling for a plan to deal with this backlog in non-Covid services .
NHS England 's constitution says patients should wait no longer than six weeks for diagnostic tests .

Seven times as many people were waiting longer than recommended for a procedure used to detect bowel cancer , and six times as many for an ECG @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And long waits for CT and MRI scans , used in detecting a range of conditions including tumours , increased five-fold .
Cancer Research has previously said more than two million people are now overdue for cancer screening , tests or treatment , resulting in a potential 23,000 cancers having gone undiagnosed during lockdown .
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said : `` We recognise the impact this global pandemic has had on NHS services and the challenges faced as we start to restore them in a safe way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the NHS has everything it needs to provide the high quality care the public expect and we have already provided a significant number of new CT scanners , x-ray machines and portable ultrasounds as part of the response to Covid-19 '' .
What is happening now ?

Sadiq Khan could move London 's government out of City Hall in an effort to fill a £500m black hole in the capital 's finances .
The Mayor of London said moving to The Crystal in Newham would save £11.1m a year in rent and charges .
The Norman Foster-designed City Hall , by Tower Bridge , has been the official home of the Greater London Authority ( GLA ) since it opened in 2002 .

The lease for City Hall was agreed with a private landlord , the Kuwaiti-owned St Martins Property Group , in 2001 and is due to run for 25 years .

Over the years , the ninth floor panorama has formed the backdrop to countless mayoral announcements , melodramas and embarrassments .
Mr Khan said : `` My first priority will always be to protect funding for frontline services , including public transport , the Met Police and the London Fire Brigade .
`` In normal times , it would be standard practice for any mayor to consider utilising the lease break-clause on the City Hall building that becomes possible this year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and with the looming black hole in London 's public finances , it would be negligent not to do so . ''
The Met Police , London Fire Brigade , Transport for London ( TfL ) and the GLA are expecting a combined budget deficit of £493m over the next two years .

Much has been made in recent weeks of the apparent success of one Welsh county in dealing with coronavirus.
Across England and Wales, only the Isles of Scilly have recorded a lower death rate than Ceredigion.
The local council - which set up its own contact tracing operation - has been widely praised for its response to the virus.
But the region's low infection rates are down to a "combination" of factors, according to public health officials.
BBC Wales has carried out a detailed analysis of available data, focusing on Ceredigion's position in relation to known risk factors for the spread of Covid-19.
What are the latest figures?
Look at a map of Wales broken down by local authority and Ceredigion really does stand out in terms of confirmed cases.
It is still in double figures, whereas every other county has dealt with hundreds.
This cannot be explained by lack of testing, according to Public Health Wales' incident director Dr Giri Shankar.
Taking population into account, testing rates have "not been significantly lower than for other local authorities", he said.
And - importantly - the percentage of samples coming back with a positive result is "very low", about 3%.
The situation's just as striking when you consider deaths from the disease - the rate in Ceredigion far lower, not just compared with urban parts of south east Wales but neighbouring, predominantly rural counties too.
Is it to do with geography?
Being a coastal county in the heart of Wales - far from the initial focus of the outbreak in the country's south east corner - has certainly been an advantage, experts say.
"The pandemic progressed predominantly east to west," Dr Shankar said, and by the time it reached Ceredigion, lockdown measures had been introduced.
"It also doesn't have large urban areas where there's the potential for more mixing between individuals."
More densely populated parts of the country have generally experienced higher rates of the disease.
Only Powys has fewer people per square kilometre than Ceredigion - though it has more cases and deaths.
"Ceredigion has at least in part been protected by its geography," agreed Prof Michael Woods of Aberystwyth University.
"We know the coronavirus spreads primarily through close contact between people and the lower population density in rural areas makes it more difficult.
"The relative remoteness also means fewer people here were travelling back and forth to places with high numbers of cases like south Wales, the West Midlands and Merseyside."

What about deprivation and ill-health?
Other risk factors affecting the spread of Covid-19 and the severity of its impact have been shown to include levels of poverty.
Though Ceredigion has pockets of deprivation, statistics show it to be among the most affluent parts of the country.
Figures from 2016 suggest the percentage of the population suffering from pre-existing conditions that can make them more vulnerable to the effects of the virus, such as asthma, COPD and diabetes, is slightly lower than much of the rest of Wales too.

In neighbouring Powys, more than half of its 91 deaths have been in care homes, according to Office for National Statistics figures.
Clusters of coronavirus in care homes has had a notable impact on the numbers of cases and deaths in other local authority areas such as Cardiff and Swansea.

bbcuk--2020-06-23--Coronavirus: 'We went from 30 customers to one in 18 hours'

Liam and Louise Parkinson 's cleaning business was just a few weeks old when the coronavirus outbreak forced them to stop working .
The husband-and-wife team based in Chippenham , Wiltshire , launched their company Abode and Beyond in January and soon began hiring extra staff to meet the demand from new clients .
But then - as news of the coronavirus spread - business quickly dropped away .
`` Within 18 hours we 'd gone from 30 customers down to one or two , '' Liam says .
When the country went into lockdown on 23 March , Liam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were suspending all services .
In early June , the couple began working again , but only a quarter of their previous clients have booked home cleaning .
`` Lots of people say now they ca n't afford to have a cleaner because they 're struggling financially , '' Liam says .
Other customers have told them cleaning would be too much of a disruption while they 're working and educating children from home .
And some clients are shielding or worried about the risk of catching Covid-19 from workers coming into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all over the country are facing huge financial challenges , especially as those who work cash-in-hand are n't eligible for government support .
Martyna , not her real name , works part-time as a domestic cleaner to supplement her main job as a housekeeper at a London hotel .
She 's been furloughed - or put on state-paid leave - by the hotel but is struggling to get by without the added income cleaning would normally provide .
`` For more than two months , I did n't do any cleaning work , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waiting for her clients to call .
`` It 's boring and also I need the extra money .
The [ furlough ] money is only for the rent and food .
It 's nothing . ''
Cleaning staff are permitted to work in people 's homes , but industry leaders say there has n't been clear guidance from the government advising cleaners how to keep themselves and their clients safe .
`` There 's nothing that we can adhere to , we 've just got to decide for ourselves what 's appropriate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' says Stephen Munton , director of the trade body the Domestic Cleaning Alliance .
`` We 're reliant now on people telling us what they want us to do in their home , what they want us to wear .
Should we be taking equipment in , because we do n't know whether we should be using what 's in the house ? ''
The British Cleaning Council ( BCC ) , which represents 20 trade groups across the cleaning industry , has written to the Small Business Minister Paul Scully , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of those issues , but no such meeting has been arranged .
The BCC says that 's left cleaning businesses to come up with safety protocols for themselves .
A spokeswoman for the Department for Business , Energy and Industrial Strategy pointed to the government 's general coronavirus guidelines for all people who work in private homes .
`` We have worked closely with businesses , unions and medical experts to develop practical guidelines specifically for those working in other people 's homes .
These are aimed at making workplaces as safe as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to work , '' she said .
`` We regularly review the science behind the guidance and will continue to work closely with a wide range of stakeholders , including the British Cleaning Council , as we continue to reopen the economy . ''
Chris Wootton runs the domestic cleaning business Poppies , which has 22 franchises across England and usually provides 6,000 cleaning services a month .
All 450 Poppies staff have been furloughed during the lockdown , but now each of the franchises is back up and running .
`` In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any of our clients or our staff may be pre-Covid or asymptomatic , '' he says .
`` So we 've protected one another by practising social distancing , providing gloves , shoe covers , masks and aprons for all our staff . ''
Chris has also introduced new protocols for when cleaning staff arrive at their clients ' homes .
Staff can not hug or shake hands with their clients .
They have also been instructed to wear a mask on arrival , then take two steps back after knocking on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to smile with our eyes .
That very moment gives our clients confidence , '' he says .
• Is coronavirus changing the world of cleaning ?
• 'We could end up with no business or savings' Chris , who also manages his own Poppies franchise , says older clients make up about a third of the domestic cleaning market .
Barbara and Jim Jackson are in their 80s and are self-isolating because of the virus .
They 're among those who have put their regular cleaning service on hold .
`` When @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people come into the house , we will go back to a cleaner because they 've been wonderful for us over the years , '' says Barbara .
`` At the moment we have to share the chores between us . ''
Once the coronavirus is no longer a risk , Chris Wootton is optimistic he 'll see an upturn in elderly customers .
`` I think they will be a growth area for us because those people will want to stay longer in their own home and not go into a care @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , back in Chippenham , Liam and Louise Parkinson are hoping more clients will soon start booking their cleaning service again .
The couple have been living off their savings since March , since they chose not to apply for government support .
`` We were a new company and we were really unsure whether we would qualify .
We did n't think 10 weeks later we would still not be working , '' says Liam .
`` We have had literally zero income from that day so it has been really tough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pocket in lost company earnings .
It 's pretty worrying .
It 's wiped out all of our personal savings . ''

"We're reliant now on people telling us what they want us to do in their home, what they want us to wear. Should we be taking equipment in, because we don't know whether we should be using what's in the house?"


bbcuk--2020-06-23--Still closed - the shops not allowed to reopen

While pubs and hairdressers in England have been given the all clear by government to reopen on 4 July , many business owners were disappointed to learn they must keep their doors closed for now .
`` It was a shock .
I can understand the logical argument but personally it feels very irritating and disappointing , '' says Adam Grant , a tattoo artist and studio manager at Tattoo UK in Uxbridge , west London .
He says it was frustrating to hear that hairdressers can open on 4 July , while tattoo parlours must remain closed .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have measures in place to prevent-cross contamination he says , such as the disposable gloves and aprons which artists must wear .
Prime Minister Boris Johnson told parliament on Tuesday that the government 's public health experts will work with sectors which remain closed , to help them become `` Covid secure '' and open `` as soon as possible '' .
In the hope of a 4 July opening , Mr Grant had already made changes to the way the studio operated , including mandating face masks and asking future customers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ says he has no date for reopening and no guidance on what safety measures will need to be in place .
`` We 've been left in limbo really , until further notice , '' he says .
As a self-employed tattoo artist Adam was able to claim financial support from the government during lockdown , but he says that only covered him for 2-3 months .
`` We may have to see if we can get another self-employment scheme because if we 're not allowed to open , we need to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ten businesses still not allowed to reopen : Beautician Tara Williamson is also frustrated by what she sees as a double standard from government , with hairdressers allowed to reopen but beauty salons staying closed .
She runs The Beauty , Skin and Eyelash Lounge in Epping and had planned to open on 4 July .
`` I do n't really get it .
I do n't see a reason why we could n't open and it will obviously be a big blow , '' she says .
Tara had already made a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following safety guidelines that were issued to salons reopening overseas , in the absence of any clear guidelines in the UK .
`` We 've put screens in place , we 've done a one-way system in the salon , we 've prepared everything for the two metre distancing , we 've staggered appointments , we 've got sanitising stations , '' she says .
`` It just seems crazy that we have no guidelines of when we can open and what is going to be happening . ''
Rob Ward , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Lytham , Lancashire , says he was also hoping to reopen on 4 July .
The gym received a government grant of £25,000 during lockdown and Rob was able to enrol his staff on the state-paid furlough scheme .
But he says closing for three months has inflicted a huge financial hit .
`` You start a year with projected figures but they 've all been knocked , '' he says .
`` We 've had some amazing support from local members , who were able to support us financially even when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A lot of our personal trainers taught free online classes to keep the gym going .
It 's been a crazy time but there are such positives that come out of it . ''
Rob had been putting in place social distancing measures for when the gym can welcome back its members .
`` Every other treadmill is out of order now , so you 've got space .
In our spin studio we 've taken lots of bikes out , '' he says He 's also used tape to ensure space between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ machine for overnight disinfecting , and introduced a new online booking system .
Even though the government has now reduced social distancing guidelines from 2m to '1m-plus ' , Rob says he 'll keep the current measures in place `` to inspire consumer confidence '' .
`` We need a date .
That 's the main thing . ''
Mark Sesnan , managing director of GLL , says he 'd also like a date to open his 200 swimming pools , with 11,000 staff across the UK .
`` Basically we 've been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 13 weeks .
We feel extremely disappointed and let down , '' he says .
`` As an industry we submitted documents to government on 7 May .
Those documents have all been accepted and we 'd been led to believe they provided a good enough framework for re-opening . ''
Mark says GLL was able to furlough most of its staff , but the organisation has also had to dig into its cash reserves .
With pools geared toward a 4 July opening , GLL has also incurred costs from recent preparations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the worst thing about Boris Johnson 's announcement on Tuesday was the lack of a firm opening date for businesses that must remain closed .
He 's called on the government to `` come off the fence '' .
`` I was down at Charlton Lido yesterday in the blazing sunshine with a massive bright blue , empty swimming pool .
It 's sad for everybody , '' he says

"We may have to see if we can get another self-employment scheme because if we're not allowed to open, we need to be compensated," he says.
