Protect mental health of those in lockdown on own
You need to allow those who have been in lockdown on their own to meet and socialise with one or two people or groups (this can be pre-registered in a database). This can be done responsibly and needs to allow indoor socialising. You must allow those who are not living near friends or family to be able to travel responsibly to meet them.
These people going through this alone are a vulnerable group and need to be allowed to meet at least one or two others they know and trust to protect their mental health. They must not be ignored or punished over fear that helping them may be abused by less-rule-abiding other who have the support of going through this as part of a household.
Why the contribution is important
You need to respect the specific challenges that rule abiding people who are living on their own have been going through lockdown.
They haven’t had proper social interaction for 8 weeks and your initial plans are a hammer blow to the mental health of those who have been following the rules. Your plans seem to be tailored to families and are cruel to those who have been going through this alone.
Asking people to exercise on their own when they see couples and so called household groups (There are clearly many bending the rules) every time they go out, is not good for mental health.
