July 14, 2020 | Matt Hancock | Andrea Leadsom Andrea Leadsom asks Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock about social distancing guidelines following an announcement that face coverings will be required in shops and supermarkets starting July 24, 2020. She misses what seems to be an obvious difference between a wedding and restaurant outing; at a wedding, the guests are expected to interact with each other, while at a restaurant guests typically want little, if any, interaction with their neighbors. Since social distancing does not make either setting entirely safe, the difference in the government's guidance reflects the likelihood of infection as a function of the number of different interaction-pairs that are likely to occur. | |
