Five ways to make hugging more Covid-safe - from the experts
The advice on hugging is changing from Monday. It is no longer advised against for people from different households in England and Scotland - and for millions of people this will be the first time they've hugged family and friends in months.
"Perhaps don't hug everybody you know. If you are going to hug somebody, restrict it to very small numbers of close family who perhaps you would really value a hug from.
"If you were visiting a vulnerable person in general, you would want to do that. Hand hygiene is still really important as well. When you touch someone, you are touching things they have touched."4. Do it outside "Open windows and doors, or take other action to let in plenty of fresh air. The more fresh air that is brought inside, the quicker any airborne virus will be removed from the room."The government suggests that to make close contact safer, people should test themselves regularly - even if they don't have symptoms."Around one in three people with coronavirus do not show symptoms, so can spread the virus to others without knowing," the government says.
