Business Secretary Alok Sharma said the Government is keeping the two-metre social distancing rule under review.
“When it is safe to do so, we will see whether you can move to a shorter distance but ultimately we keep all of these things under review,” he told the No 10 briefing.
“There are other countries in the world that have moved from two metres to closer distances. Of course, they are further along in terms of their road map, in terms of opening up businesses.
“We are taking a cautious view on this. I completely understand why for economic reasons businesses will want to have a look at this two-metre rule.”
