Like many of Nanny's rules and regulations it appears that the two metre rule is in fact bollocks, and based on no scientific evidence whatsoever.
As per Robert Dingwall, of the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (NERVTAG) :
‘I think it will be much harder to get compliance with some of the measures that really do not have an evidence base. I mean the two-metre rule was conjured up out of nowhere.Well then!
Well, there is a certain amount of scientific evidence for a one-metre distance which comes out of indoor studies in clinical and experimental settings.
There’s never been a scientific basis for two metres, it’s kind of a rule of thumb. But it’s not like there is a whole kind of rigorous scientific literature that it is founded upon.’
