We've been hearing about the problems being faced by businesses as Omicron cases rise in the UK.

And some of you have been getting in touch telling us about your worries.

Ian McGregor, runs Thai restaurant Star of Siam in Keswick, Cumbria, and has had many cancellations in the last 10 days.

"Some of the cancelled bookings have been big and the footfall in the town has not brought enough passing trade to cover the cancellations," he said.

"In the last week we have seen a sharp fall in our revenue and it looks as though we are heading for a tough Christmas trading period."

He says they're going to try to stay open as long as they can.

Travel agent Wendy Haines, from Staffordshire, says she's seeing bookings cancelled.

And while the hospitality industry has had support over the last two years, she thinks her industry is "the most affected" but "the least supported".

"I was on the phone to a client earlier who has no choice but to cancel her family’s trip to Disneyland Paris, as France is effectively closing its borders," she said.

"The whole point in people going to France is to see the Christmas festivities – postponing to March for instance would not be the same. Unless customers travel, we don’t get paid."

She's worried about what the next few months will bring.
