U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s hopes of entertainment venues benefiting from rapid testing when the country begins to reopen after coronavirus lockdown is not practical, at least for cinemas, says U.K. Cinema Association chief executive Phil Clapp.

On Monday, during a coronavirus briefing, Johnson had suggested the rapid lateral flow tests, in combination with the ongoing vaccination process, could reach “those parts of the economy we couldn’t get open last year,” referring to nightclubs and theaters.
