[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 997633, member: 74895"] The clamour to reduce the distance is clearly related to restarting the economy. I have seen some business owners saying that dropping the distance to say 1 or 1.5 metres could be offset with say a requirement for all customers to wear masks. That way they could get twice as many customers in a shop at the same time but with the risk still mitigated to an acceptable level. I assume the thinking is that 2 metres was appropriate when the R rate was above 1 and people are looking to reassess what the acceptable risk level is with the R rate now reduced. It's very difficult to have a blanket approach if the R rate varies across the country. I'm not saying which is right or wrong but it looks to be turning into Health v Economy balancing act. [/QUOTE]
