Bubbles & Outdoor Gatherings
I think the idea of “family bubbles” of up to 10 people is a great way forward. I agree with this strategy. I also think it should be acceptable for groups of no more than 10 to gather, in keeping with social distancing rules, in outdoor spaces e.g. parks. This would not need to be the same 10 people as the “family bubble” due to being outdoors. Face masks and hand washing would be required in all cases. This could then allow for restaurants, cafes and pubs with outdoor spaces to offer an option for re-opening provided they could allow 2m diameter around tables etc. They would have to employ increased security to ensure that people did not cross the social distancing lines if intoxicated. Restricted opening hours would also be necessary. I’m sure there’s a lot more that would need to be considered but I feel that is a wee contribution in the right direction.
It might be necessary, at least at first, to ask people who have socialised to re-isolate for 7 days after each encounter. This could limit cross-infection rates.
Why the contribution is important
It gives family and friends the option to spend time with one another and allows for limited socialising helping to boost the economy but, more importantly, reduce the strain on the nation’s mental health.
