More outdoor contact
I think it would be beneficial to the mental health of many to be permitted to meet in a socially distanced way with one or two people from other households. I’m thinking of the impact the ongoing lockdown is having on people who live alone, people who have boy/girlfriends in different households and young people for whom time with there peer group is so important.
Having said that I would not support a lifting of lockdown as I think it’s too early to do so safely.
I do agree with many others who have mentioned socially distanced opening of garden centres and golf facilities. Small steps!
Why the contribution is important
As stated above lockdown can have a detrimental impact on the mental health of those who live alone, are separated from boy/girlfriends and young people who need the support of their peer group. It is easier for older people like myself to
keep busy with projects around the house and garden. However I am slightly concerned that any easing off could lead to more people breaking the social distancing guidelines. On the other hand without some easing some may find it too difficult to maintain lockdown. It’s not an easy decision!
