Two men were arrested after a gathering of more than 40 people was held in a tearoom in violation of England’s CCP virus lockdown rules, Nottinghamshire police said on Saturday.

The Mustard Seed, a tearoom and Christian bookshop in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, had refused to close despite England’s second national lockdown, which came into force on Nov. 5 to stem the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which caused the COVID-19 pandemic.
