For those who live in the UK, up to 10 pounds ($13) of your restaurant bill will be paid by the government if you eat out on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday at participating venues throughout August.

Launched on Aug. 3, “Eat Out to Help Out” is a government scheme to help struggling restaurants to get back on their feet, after the hospitality industry took a huge hit due to lockdown measures to curb the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
