Of course it is possible but it would be going against the advice of NPHET. My priority now, rather than having a complicated set of criteria for a two or three-week period, is to get the decision to allow restaurants and pubs to open indoors. If they knew they were going to able to do that in the first week or so of July, that two or three-week period might be more acceptable. I would be concerned that if we came up with a strict regime to allow them to half-open indoors, they might be stuck with that for months.
