LONDON, June 15 (Reuters) - Britain's government hopes to
complete a review into whether the country should stick to a
social distancing measure of keeping people 2 metres apart in
the coming weeks, a spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson
said on Monday.
The review into the 2-metre rule comes after some
businesses, especially in the hospitality industry, complained
they could not return profits if customers had to stand far
apart, citing other countries where the distances are smaller.
"It will be completed in the coming weeks," the spokesman
told reporters, adding that the review would be chaired by Simon
Case, permanent secretary at Number 10, and would report to
Johnson.
