Electric Fence Keeps Drinkers Back from Waiters in English Pub
A business in southwest England is using an electric fence to enforce social distancing rules to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Johnny McFadden is the landlord of Star Inn, a public house – or pub – in the village of St. Just. He set up the fence in front of the pub's main drinking area to make sure that people keep at least two meters distance away from others.
McFadden said, "If I had put a little bit of rope there, I don't think anybody would have taken this much attention as they have to an electric fence." He spoke to the Reuters news agency.
England is famous for its pubs, where locals gather to enjoy alcoholic drinks and sometimes food. The government gave pubs permission to reopen on July 4, but they must enforce social distancing measures. That includes limiting pub employees' contact with customers, and reducing the time customers spend at the bar.
McFadden said the rules represented a big culture change for his business.
"I run a very small bar. Everybody is accustomed to sitting at the bar, pushing at the bar. They can't do that now. Things have changed," he said.
The fence is not actually turned on. But McFadden said that the same logic which works in the nearby farms of rural Cornwall also works for the local drinkers.
He said, "As long as there's a warning sign on an electric fence and you are warned about it, it's totally legal. And there's the fear factor - it works."
McFadden added, "People are like sheep. Sheep keep away, people keep away."

英国一酒吧装电网确保安全距离
英格兰西南部的一家公司利用一种电子围栏实施社会安全距离来阻止新冠肺炎的传播f9hcr1zH2|s#)q^=Q。
约翰尼·麦克法登是圣·加斯特村一家名为Star Inn的酒吧的老板FH#s+k5Vta。他在酒吧主要饮酒区前设置了围栏，以确保人与人之间保持至少两米的间距&#v=2Hm2;%3-。
麦克法登在接受路透社记者采访时表示：“如果我设置一条绳索，我想大家不会像注意电丝网这样去留意&%DRZ0XkRHN。”

英国以其酒吧而闻名，当地人喜欢聚集在酒吧畅饮狂欢，有时还会品尝美食!Snb@C,M*+NvfPt.。政府允许酒吧在7月4日重新营业，但他们必须遵守社会安全距离的措施ndE8Qc*~)9xwV.etm。其中包括限制酒吧员工与顾客的接触，以及减少顾客逗留酒吧的时间cZnZNgt,w,swQ。
麦克法登表示，这些规定意味着店里的文化发生“巨变”JaYfmL|cTtIvtXZP3。
