Single people allowed contact with one other household.
There is no doubt that lockdown measures are having an impact on everyone's mental health.
Seven weeks of no social interaction for people living on their own seems discriminatory.
I suggest people living on their own should be allowed to visit one nominated household.

Why the contribution is important
It keeps the group small but allows interaction and helps their mental health.
I'm a single parent with three teenager who are effectively social distancing within the house. My mental health is suffering greatly and I still have a small amount of interaction. I can't see my partner which is awful, and again I feel like I'm been discriminated against because of financial circumstances which don't allow us to live in the same house currently. However I can put this aside I have to for the sake of my kids. It's the impact of people living alone that concerns me most. My brother has already shown really concerning behaviour because he can't see any family. I have single friends who are really struggling. This rule should be changed immediately to minimise depression and prevent inevitable suicides.

Please allow us to interact socially with even one other person.

I live alone and have found myself edging more and more into the grey area of behaviors in a desperate desire for human contact. Allowing single households to 'pair up' would massively improve my quality of life by allowing me to see someone regularly and would likely lead to an increase in my ability to follow the lockdown's other rules. It's much easier to limit your general social contact when there is someone that you can connect with more strongly.
