Mr. Neil McDonnell:

What we find particularly unhelpful is where people want to be really black and white and say that it is either 2 m or it is 1 m, when from a health and safety point of view that does not make sense at all.

It is perfectly deliverable from a health and safety point of view to apply one set of measures that should be taken at a social distance of 2 m, and another set that should be taken at 1 m. First of all, as Mr. McCoy said, public transport is simply going to fail to function at 2 m social distancing and the streets will be clogged with cars. We must also consider many of the hands-on professions, such as the people we represent in the areas of hair and beauty and physiotherapy. A different set of measures will have to apply in those areas.
