Pubs in England could see the new measures being put into place in a bid to allow more outdoor seating and fulfil government social distancing guidelines.
A minister also hinted roads could be shut to allow more space for outdoor seating and more "temporary markets" to help the economy.
In parliament, two ministers discussed a number of possibilities as they tried to quell a Tory revolt over the two-metre social distancing rule, reports Mirror Online.
Currently, the two-metre rule has been adopted by countries around the world to prevent the spread of coronavirus, despite the World Health Organisation recommended one-metre.
