Britain’s beleaguered hospitality and finance sectors lamented Thursday the impact of new health measures designed to prevent the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant over Christmas.

The curbs sparked renewed fear over the economy heading into the New Year, but analysts remain uncertain over the outlook.“These fresh restrictions will be a disappointment to businesses in the Square Mile,” said Catherine McGuinness, policy chair of the City of London Corporation. Britain will make it compulsory to show Covid vaccine passports in England for the first time, while face masks will be required in most indoor public venues.

The government “will need to look at providing support” to compensate for lost “vital revenues over the Christmas period”, she added, but noted most pubs were too small to require Covid passports.“The pre-Christmas period is absolutely crucial for our sector,” said NTIA boss Michael Kill, adding the measures will have a “devastating impact” on an industry “already so bruised” by the pandemic.
