Chamber comment on North East’s Tier 3 placement
Date published:
Jonathan Walker, director of policy, North East England Chamber of Commerce said:
“This announcement that we will be in tier 3 will be further blow for businesses which have been under restrictions now for a substantial length of time. They must continue to receive the necessary assistance to help mitigate the cumulative impact of these measures.
“We encourage everyone in the North East to really pull together to ensure we exit tier 3 as quickly as possible and to support their local businesses through this difficult time. It has never been more important for us to work as a region to get our Covid rate down, both for our public health and our economy.
“It is also vital we get clarity on how we will move into a lower tier and what will need to be achieved.”
