London bars and restaurants are shutting themselves down as Omicron rips through UK
CNN
As the Omicron variant sweeps through the United Kingdom, pushing daily coronavirus infections to their highest level on record, British businesses are shutting their doors again — but not because of government instructions.
Restaurants and other venues are instead deciding they have no choice but to close early for Christmas due to a flood of canceled reservations and concerns about the health of staffers.
Ferhat Dirik, the co-owner of east London's Mangal 2 restaurant, said he decided to shut a week earlier than planned because of lost bookings and the "general uncertainty in the air."
