The U.K.'s two-meter social distancing rule will be reviewed 'very soon' because of the impact it has on businesses, said Chancellor Rishi Sunak
The U.K.'s two-meter social distancing rule will be reviewed "very soon" because of the impact it has on businesses, said Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
Ahead of the reopening of shops in England on Monday, the U.K. finance minister said companies had told him that the public health measure made it harder for them to operate. "I talk to businesses all the time. It has an enormous impact on their ability to operate profitably," he told the BBC's Andrew Marr show today.
Asked if any change to the two-meter rule would have to be signed off by Whitty and the government's Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance, Sunak said: "We [ministers] are the people that are elected to make decisions in this country. People should hold us accountable for those decisions." Sunak also hinted at changes to quarantine measures for passengers arriving from other countries that have been heavily criticized by the travel industry.
"Obviously this is not something that we want to have. We all, over time, would like to get our lives back to normal — travel included. And that's why the transport secretary is actively looking at options as we continue to make progress against the virus, we might be able to do more here," said the chancellor.
