酒店业对其施加了新的临时法规，以限制Covid-19的传播。这amendment to the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Obligations of Undertakings) (England) Regulations 2020introduces a new Covid noise limit of 85dB(A) for any music played in cafes, bars restaurants and hotels and came into force on 28th September, as is enforceable by law.

(1C) A person responsible for carrying on a business of a public house, café, restaurant or bar (including a bar in a hotel or members’ club) must, during the emergency period, ensure that no music is played on the premises which exceeds 85db(A) when measured at the source of the music.

Public Health England, 2020

当英国的冠状病毒锁定限制在7月开始缓解时，就引入了有关保持噪音水平尽可能低的建议。对法律的这一新修正案使得共证噪声限制为85DB（a）法律义务而不是建议，这意味着不遵守的场所可能会被罚款高达10,000英镑。

This new legislation only applies to pre-recorded music; live performances are exempt.

What this means for those working in the hospitality sector is that they should conduct regular noise level checks in areas where music is played to ensure that they are not in breach of these new restrictions as part of their preparations to be Covid-secure.
