Nominated Buddy Household
Letting people nominate a buddy household where they can visit for social interaction as a mental health measure. Ideally would nominate a single pairing. Both parties tied to that, so maintaining wider social distancing, this would result in avoiding chains of pairs. Maybe limited to actual house visits in the first instance to avoid social gathering, but could be extended in the future to support outdoor time.
Why the contribution is important
This would enable people / families to gain important social interaction in a safe and controlled approach. Especially key for children and single person units, where mental health would be improved. Taking the pressure off from wider easing of the social distancing control measures. It could also help delay easing of wider controls while the 'R' value is deemed too high.
