We will be 'allowed' to hug loved ones for 5 days over the Christmas period... do they really think that people haven't been hugging because it's 'illegal'??? I javnt hugged my parents or any loved ones since march because im terrified of passing on covid... its certainly not because the government have told me that I'm not 'allowed' and i wont be hugging my parents just because its not illegal ... I'll hug them when i want, when i feel it's safe to do so
