Caffe Nero lack of social distancing
Tuesday of last week, two days before tier 4 on New Year’s Eve, lack of social distancing in Caffe Nero, top end of Lincoln High Street.
Half a dozen people lined up at the counter. Half a dozen people putting themselves and staff at risk. This is an example of why covid-19 is out of control and why a highly infectious strain B117 is spreading like wildfire.
Covid-19 is a respiratory disease, it spreads person-to-person, it spreads through people touching contaminated surfaces.
Not only Caffe Nero.
I think it was the previous week, a family butcher a notice on the door, people not able to count, I counted seven inside, the notice said three.
A local baker, limit of three people posted on the door, people take no notice, often there will be three people stood in the doorway, blocking the way as leave the shop.
Guildford, first Saturday after the second lockdown, first Saturday of December, the town was packed, too many people on the street lack of social distancing. Looking in coffee shops, no social distancing as customers queued for a takeaway coffee.
It is not difficult to form an orderly social distanced queue outside.
Coffee Aroma in Lincoln sets a standard that others should follow:
- one customer
- form an orderly queue outside not blocking the door
- contactless payment
- takeaway coffee cups
- no reusable cups
We prevent spread of covid-19 by avoiding other people, keeping our distance, avoiding overcrowded enclosed spaces.
From midnight, England goes into lockdown. Will remain in lockdown until at least mid-February. England should have gone into knockdown Christmas Day.
