Britain is reviewing its physical distancing rule and might be able to relax quarantine for travellers to help its economy recover, the country's finance minister Rishi Sunak said on Sunday.
"The prime minister has put in place a comprehensive review of the two-metre rule," Sunak said in an interview on BBC's Andrew Marr show.
Reducing the distance people must keep apart from each other would mean three quarters of pubs could reopen, rather than about one third with a two-metre rule.
Sunak also said the government could make changes to a 14-day quarantine for people coming into the country, with the introduction of "travel corridors" with countries that have low infection rates.
