I think it must be one of those caravan parks based on the Pikey experience where you park up and then go out doing as you like .

This news item puzzles me because the regulations for such sites is a minimum plot size of seven metres width, so social distancing should be no problem:-

Twenty-one people have tested positive for coronavirus at a caravan park site in Shropshire, with health experts warning the number will rise.

Testing started when two positive cases were confirmed at Craven Arms last week, linked to an outbreak in Welshpool and a recent local event.

A testing site has now been set up at a nearby business park, Shropshire Council and Public Health England said.

All residents have been told to self-isolate with their families.

To date 41 people at the residential site have been tested.

Contact tracing is being undertaken, and the number of positive cases is expected to increase before infection control measures and social distancing start to take effect, the council said.
