One of the top scientific advisers to the British Government said the two metre (6'6") social distancing rule is based on 'very fragile' evidence.
People
in the UK have been urged to stay at least 2m, or six-and-a-half feet,
away from anyone who they don't live with, to avoid catching or
spreading COVID-19.
But
the distance may be a non-scientific estimate that just caught on in
countries around the world, as top researchers say there is not solid
evidence to back it up.
Professor
Robert Dingwall, a sociologist at Nottingham Trent University and a
member of government advisory group NERVTAG (New and Emerging
Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group) made the comments this
morning."
