answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2020 answer text <p>We recognise how difficult it has been for people to be cut off from their friends and family throughout the past few months. ‘Support bubbles’ are to assist the loneliest and most isolated in society. They were introduced to provide extra support to some of those most impacted by the difficult effects of the social restrictions, while ensuring we continue to keep the rate of transmission low. The policy has been targeted at single-adult households.</p><p>People should socially distance from those not in their household or support bubble in order to keep people around them safe, limit the risk of the transmission of the virus and limit chains of transmission. We recognise that it may not always be possible or practicable to maintain social distancing when providing care to a young child or infant. People should still limit close contact as much as possible when providing childcare and take other precautions such as washing hands and clothes regularly.</p><p>This is guidance is continually under review.
