Matt Hancock has urged people not to have sex outside of ‘established relationships – but don’t worry Herefordians, Herefordshire isn’t in a local lockdown just yet!
Asked about the government’s advice that only couples who are in ‘established’ relationships should be getting it on, Hancock said: “In these rules that we have to bring in, there have to be boundaries, to coin a phrase.
“If you’re saying that two households shouldn’t mix, which we are in some parts of the country – in the North East, the North West, in Scotland, in parts of Wales – then you have to then define what is the boundary of that.”
He continued: “I think we should stick to the letter of it, which is it is okay in an established relationship.
“It just means that people need to be careful, they need to be sensible.
“If you’re in a relationship that is well established… what it means is people realising that coming into close contact with people from other households, then that is how the virus spreads.”
