After England’s hospitality sector, including pubs and restaurants, reopened for the first time in more than three months, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said on Sunday that the vast majority of people did "the right thing."
Early indications suggest that the reopening of pubs in England on Saturday did not overwhelm emergency services as many had feared in the run-up to the biggest easing of the lockdown.
