Social distancing wearables launched

Products include face-coverings, badges, snoods and lanyards

A range of wearable items for people who struggle to social distance have been launched by the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme, the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and the UK Cabinet Office.

Products included face-coverings, badges, snoods and lanyards that carry the ‘Please give me space’ message to aid understanding among others that the wearer needed space in public spaces.

Marc Powell, Strategic Accessibility Lead at RNIB, said: ‘For those who want to use it, the ‘Please give me space’ products will provide an option to indicate to passers-by that social distancing is either difficult or particularly important.’
