Questions coronavirus protection measures, moving metre away (4)
I believe the answer is:
asks
'questions' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'measures moving metre away' is the wordplay.
'measures' becomes 'as' (A is an example).
'moving metre away' becomes 'ks' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'as'+'ks'='ASKS'
'coronavirus protection' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
(Other definitions for asks that I've seen before include "Puts a query" , "Begs" , "Enquires; requests" , "Puts a question" , "Inquires (4)" .)
