In England, we are now slowly trying to get back to normal but for the vulnerable it’s much harder. We are still in some sort of lockdown but we can go out as much as we want but still have to social distance from people other than those in our own household.

At the moment, it’s a bank holiday weekend and the weather is sunny and warm and people want to go out and sit in it. Beaches and parks are packed. So what do we do? Do we still visit a beach or a park?

The answer is, we must still social distance. We are allowed to sit in the sun but we must still keep at least two meters distance from other people who are not in our own household. You can meet one person outside sitting in fresh air (but not inside your home) whilst staying two meters away from them. Coronavirus is still around so we must stay alert. We must be careful as people are still dying from COVID-19. There are thousands still contracting the virus each day.

So, here is a poem to describe what we must do, especially if we are thinking of going to the beach or the park or somewhere outside.

A packed beach or park
