i have been advised that i am eligible to shop 'early' at any one supermarket...

i dont drive, but a friend can give me a lift, is this allowed bearing in mind the current restrictions with friends..

Hi Charles

While we're all supposed to adopt Social Distancing, if you need to get to the shops for food and don't drive, but a friend can give you a lift, no one is going to criticise your actions. Hope you can get what you need.

Take Care

That is the wrong advice to Tamlin55. The friend can do the shopping on his/her own but everybody is instructed to keep at least 2 meters away from people (friend or not friend, unless they live in the same house) which is impossible to do if they are together in the car!

That’s a good direct answer, athi9110.

We are trying to beat this thing together, so it’s not about being criticised, it about doing the right thing.

You're right, so sorry - I was more fixated on the notion of how to get to the shop rather than how to get some shopping.

Would it not be 2 m if the passenger sat in the back ?? or would it be the confined space of the Car that would be the danger point !!!

Don't get me wrong I need the NHS as much as anyone I am just making an Observation.

Stay Well

Stay Safe

Good point - large Mercedes- maybe 2m, Fiat500 - probably not 2m., but probably confined space There must be a number of people at risk who don't drive and can't get home delivery who may well be travelling to the shops via bus - almost impossible to distance 2m in a bus
