Being socially responsible by keeping our distance

Liz and John Sweetman made a very valid point about the need to mask-up when walking on a crowded promenade where social distancing is difficult.

We all know that one of the greatest dangers is people who have the virus but have no symptoms and go around unknowingly infecting others.

We should all take responsibility for others as well as ourselves if we wish to beat this scourge in all places where it is not possible to observe social distance.

Be wise and socially aware.

Mask-up!
