Cocktail bar closes after all staff asked to isolate
BBC Radio 5 Live
The owner of a chain of cocktail bars says he had to close one of them because staff left their phones together - and they were all pinged by the NHS Covid app.
Martin Greenhow runs Mojo, which has branches in Leeds, Harrogate, Nottingham, Liverpool and Manchester.
He tells Radio 5 Live how the Liverpool bar had to shut for a week after every member of staff was alerted by the NHS app and asked to self-isolate. The closure has cost him tens of thousands of pounds.
“We test all our staff on a daily basis," he says. "I don’t instruct them to ignore the ping, I give them the option. It’s at their discretion.
"We will be as altruistic as we can, but fundamentally if a business runs out of money it runs out of all opportunity to do that.
“We ask them to behave in a grown-up, adult manner, which I think the government should expect the entire country to do and stop trying to nanny them.”
He adds his business is also being affected by staff shortages in the supply chain, which he says are "bringing the country to a grinding halt".
