MNI BRIEF: No Lasting Recovery Until Control Infections - CBI

It is right for the UK government to prioritize bringing Covid-19 infections under control as there will be no lasting economic recovery until that happens, but there must be a further business support plans, particularly for the hospitality sector, Carolyn Fairburn, Director-General of the CBI said Tuesday.

"Renewed advice to work from home where possible will keep our town and city centres under great economic pressure, just as people were starting to make their way back. While action is necessary, it comes at a serious price," she added.

Fairburn's comments came after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced further tightening of social distancing restrictions in reaction to a recent spike in Covid-19 infections.
