From this weekend single parents and single people can join a ‘support bubble’ - in other words, millions of people can now go to each other’s houses and don’t have to follow 2 m rule in England BUT...
You can only choose ONE other household - and it doesn’t apply to people who are shielding, and refers to people in England
But a big deal for many people - eg single grandparents who will be able to spend time with and hug their grandchildren for the first time in several months - ‘bubble’ model could be expanded to include other households as time goes on
And partners who don’t live together who have only been able to see each other outside and have had to stay 2m apart
