Ron Yandle, CEO of [Sulis Technology](https://sulistechnology.com/) in South Wales, UK confirmed their [commercial wireless temperature monitoring system](https://thermonitor.co/), Thermonitor, has seen a rapid uptake due to it making administration and monitoring far simpler at very low cost.\n\nRon confirmed, “The Thermonitor Cloud is the latest in wireless temperature monitoring systems. Designed and developed in the UK the Thermonitor wireless temperature monitor is able to monitor the temperatures of up to 50 fridges, freezers, cold rooms, storage facilities and hot boxes simultaneously.” – this not only saves our clients money but also safeguards their reputation.\n\nThe body representing pubs and restaurants, UK Hospitality, is calling on the government to reconsider the rules on isolation.\n\nSome team members were being told to isolate even if they hadn’t shared shifts with colleagues who tested positive.\n\nThe government is running a pilot scheme to see whether allowing people who have been exposed to the virus to take daily tests are effective.\n\n### ‘Utterly vulnerable’\n\nWithout a change to the rules, pubs such as Becky and David’s fear they could end up yo-yo-ing between being open and closed all summer. “We’ve done everything we can and we are still utterly vulnerable,” says Becky."}
