Furthermore, none of the seven UK returnees’ primary and secondary contacts have tested positive for the new strain to date. This is a good indication for the state, experts said.

What 2021 holds for the restaurant business

It’s not over yet. As 2020 draws to a close, COVID-19 and its gnarled web of related challenges, from lockdowns to the fear economy, will continue to cast shadows, shape restaurants and affect meals over the next few years.

The ailing industry is fighting back, however – including offering food during the lockdown, roadside pickup, DIY kits, QR code menus, and chef-led cooking classes on Instagram.
