      <p><strong>London, Jun 14 (IANS):</strong> UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has commissioned a review into the incumbent 2-metre social distancing rule imposed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, following calls to scrap it, it was reported on Sunday.</p>\r\n
      <p>The review will aim to be completed by July 4, when pubs and restaurants could open at the earliest in England, the BBC reported.</p>\r\n
      <p>Currently, the UK government advises people to stay 2-metre apart from others to avoid spreading the coronavirus.</p>\r\n
      <p>This is further than the World Health Organization's recommendation of at least 1 metre, and some other countries like France and Denmark.</p>\r\n
      <p>However, there are widespread concerns about the impact of the rule on the UK economy, which is already suffering from the pandemic.</p>\r\n
      <p>Businesses and some of Johnson's own MPs have also warned that large parts of the hospitality industry will not be viable with the 2-metre coronavirus rule in place.</p>\r\n
      <p>ome bars, restaurants and pubs say they will be unable to make a profit if the 2m guidance is still in place when they reopen. Tourism firms have also warned of tens of thousands of job losses unless the distance is shortened.</p>\r\n
      <p>Kate Nicholls, chief executive of the industry body UK Hospitality, has said that with a 2-metre rule, outlets would be only able to make about 30% of normal revenues, whereas 1m would increase that to 60-75 per cent.</p>\r\n
      <p>Richard Caring, chairman of Caprice Holdings which runs the Ivy, told the Mail on Sunday the government was "killing the country".</p>\r\n
      <p>"There are estimates saying we could have up to five million unemployed," the BBC quoted Caring as saying to the newspaper "It's not going to be five million - it's going to be more. I don't think we've seen anything yet."</p>\r\n
      <p>Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 committee made up of backbench Conservative MPs, welcomed the review and said a move to 1-metre would be "essential".</p>\r\n
      <p>The review announcement comes as the COVID-19 cases in the UK has increased to 295,828, with 41,747 deaths, the highest in Europe.</p>
