The goal is to get less mixing of people, it's difficult to rely on the common sense of a lot of folk, so the Govt come up with an idea to create a limit and hope people will stick with it. I've noticed that many people have become complacent - one example....a cafe we used a few weeks ago wasn't allowing any punters near the counter, all payments to be made at the table. Last week it was ok to go to the counter to pay, and the proprietor's friend was standing close beside the counter for a good 20 mins conversing with no mask on - this wouldn't have happened the previous visit. Just one example, but if this is happening all over the Country (and in places of higher population density than sleepy Norfolk) the numbers infected will rise.
