In a week's time, restaurants in England will be able to serve customers, if they're sitting outside. However the industry has already been impacted by the economic impact of lockdown. Over 22 thousand restaurants have permanently closed between December 2019 and February this year. We look at how some are having to adapt in order to comply with the newest restrictions. This weekend dozens of messages and photographs have been pinned to the front door of the John Lewis store in Sheffield. It's one of eight John Lewis stores to shut for good and it's prompted tens of thousands of people to sign a petition to try and convince John Lewis to keep it open. More than a million people in the UK are suffering from the affects of long Covid. A survey by the Office for National Statistics found that the most common on-going problems included fatigue, coughs, headaches and muscle pain. We look at how this could impact the UK's workforce in the coming months and years to come. And one of the ways social media influencers make money is by promoting stuff on their Instagram, Youtube and Facebook feeds.
