Helena Bonham Carter adopts social distancing with boyfriend

They were pictured adopting social distancing measures while on a cycling trip together on Sunday. 

And on Monday, Helena Bonham Carter, 53, and her writer beau, Rye Dag Holmboe, 32, were pictured picking up groceries but maintaining a two metre distance. 

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has asked people in the UK to specifically keep two metres apart in a bid to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
