What is social distancing?

Main reasons for why we social distance

Social distancing. Probably the two most used words in 2020, and, social distancing isn’t going anywhere just yet. It’s not common that you can say the world has changed due to one event, but Covid-19 has done just that.

So what is social distancing? It’s basically allowing society to return to life (not as we previously know it) as safe as possible, reducing the spread of Covid-19 by reducing person to person contact made in society.

Covid-19 was the cause of Matting Solutions Ltd being founded. How could we return to life as we previously knew it? How could we help local businesses allow employees return to work safely? How could we allow children to return to school? How could we allow grassroots sports clubs to reopen safely? You probably guessed it, we sourced suppliers to provide us with high quality, durable and practical social distancing products that could allow all of the above to happen.
