Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, for what reason only six people are allowed to sing non-professionally indoors under covid-19 restrictions.
The Government has no plans to amend regulations to allow more than six people to sing non-professionally indoors. In general, limiting mixing indoors, where the risk of transmission of COVID-19 is much higher, is critical to halting the spread of the virus. Singing is considered a high-risk activity because it increases the risk of transmission through small viral particles in the air and droplets.
The Government keeps these and other COVID-19 restrictions under continual review.
