This pub has an electric fence to promote social distancing!

In these interesting times of social distancing, there is an all new technique that has come to the forefront. A Cornish pub has now set up an electric fence to stop the spread of COVID-19. As bizarre as it sounds, it is surely going to make people stay far away.

In the village of St Just, there is now an electric fence in front of the bar in Star Inn. This novel way of social distancing in an English pub has grabbed the attention of people around the world. The idea is to ensure that people follow social distancing norms, and keep safe. The landlord of the pub said in a statement that a mere rope would not have been as effective as an electric fence, and that is true. England’s pub culture is one of its identifying characteristics, and pubs were allowed to reopen for business on July 4. So now, you can go into a pub and enjoy a pint, but it is important to not forget the situation that the world is currently facing. Also, pubs are operating with precaution; thus, there is minimum contact between staff and customers.

One of the main things that has now changed is that people cannot spend too long inside a bar. So people cannot spend a long time sitting inside a bar, and chilling with friends. That is gone for now.
Now, at the pub in Star Inn you will find a warning sign at the bar, with an electric fence around it. The sign says, Warning, Electric Fence.

The fence is not live as yet, but according to the landlord of the pub, it keeps people away as no one wants to touch it and find out. You see an electric fence, and you immediately move away, hence keeping the bar safe and secure.
