Understandably there is confusion between the law and guidance. You MUST follow the law, you may follow guidance.
If the individual does not feel comfortable taking lessons, in the present climate, that is absolutely fair enough. However that choice should be left for the individual who should be empowered with the facts.
Interestingly the 2 meter physical distancing theory comes from research carried out in the 1930s.
A pragmatic approach would be one that follows the precautions that were applied during the last pandemic which had broadly similar infection fatality figures in the UK, which occurred in 1999-2000. If you remember the measures applied then, you will know what I mean.
