LONDON - Britain is reviewing its two-meter social distancing rule ahead of the next stage of lockdown easing planned for July 4, when bars, restaurants and hairdressers could reopen in England, Prime

Minister Boris Johnson said on Sunday.

Johnson's Conservative Party government, which says it has followed scientific advice in its handling of the pandemic, faces the difficult balancing act of reviving the economy without allowing a second wave of cases. As COVID-19 in the population fell to 1 in 1,600 or lower, the chances of catching the disease from an encounter of less than two meters had diminished, Johnson added.

Lowering the distance people have to maintain from one another could provide an immediate benefit for badly-hit English pubs, with Sunak saying three quarters could reopen, rather than about one third with a two-meter rule.
