Greene King closes 33 pubs due to staff shortages caused by people forced to self-isolate by NHS Covid app
Mr Mackenzie said: "Across the industry, we think the number is about one in five of our team members who have been affected by this and therefore it is causing a real issue for us setting-up a business on a daily basis."
