Close nightclubs and bars to prevent spread of COVID-19
Nightclubs and bars are possibly the worst environments for coronavirus to spread. By closing them for an appropriate amount of time will result in a safer, healthier UK during this pandemic.
Working in a nightclub myself, I am worried for my own and for other’s safety. Whilst closing schools and universities is also important, I believe that nightclubs and bars are a greater risk to health.
Here’s some reasons why:
-Drinking alcohol lowers the immune system.
-There is a large capacity of people in a small space.
-There are people passing germs by sweating, couching, kissing and many more
-While intoxicated, people are more likely to forget to wash their hands.
