Go with your inclination. You’ll only feel uneasy. Do what makes you feel most relaxed.

I'm sure that if you attend a supermarket ( one of the worst hotspots for catching the virus after a hospital ) you can hang out washing as it's out in the air and an in and out job.

there is some evidence to show it can remain on textiles isn't there? is that what you mean, if someone coughs on it or in its direction?

I don’t see a problem, you wait to get a trolley at the supermarket, as long as you’re hands/face/space.

I’m sure it would be perfectly fine, it’s outdoors, you’ll wear a mask and it’s no like it will be crowded. Wash hands as you normally would.

But you are hardly going to be near anyone are you? If someone else is there you would wait.

It’s a communal washing line midgey. Not the same as going for a walk ?

If you can go for a walk I’m sure you can hang out washing!

I don’t know if there’s any guidance but I’d be inclined to wait.

Hi all, Does anyone know if during lockdown you can be allowed to hang out washing at a communal rotary washing line site at a block of 52 flats please. My inclination is to wait until the 8th of March. Anyone know......?
