RELAX SOCIAL DISTANCING TO 1M IN LINE WITH WHO GUIDANCE
Adjust social distancing guidance to reflect World Health Orgainsiation (WHO) standards. The WHO recomends a minimum of 1 meter which has been widely adopted by countries around the world. Other countries which adopted a more cautious approach such as 1.6 meter are now relaxing their requirements to or closer to 1 meter.
Why the contribution is important
The WHO recomendations reflect safety requirements and scientific advice.
Revieiwing the UK social distancing guidance will safely enable more effective use of transport, public spaces and workplaces. In conjunction with other precautions this will safely allow the new normal to develop more quickly and reduce the adverse impacts of COVID-19.

Folk are still not good at remembering to cover their mouths when coughing, and so the 2m distance provides some more protection. In the split-second on walking past someone (thankfully I had given them a 2m wide berth), they sneezed without any attempt to cover their mouth in the process - even if they had covered their mouth, that incident cemented for me the importance of a 2m distance.

Tell people 1m is enough and we will find people ignoring this and brush past one another.
