Why this Irish bar has banned Neil Diamond's song "Sweet Caroline"

You shouldn’t be reaching out and touching anyone right now. Murphy’s Irish Bar in Corralejo, Spain, has banned the Neil Diamond song “Sweet Caroline” in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19. The issue is they don’t want anyone scream-singing along to the classic song, as doing so could spread coronavirus droplets that could get others sick.

There will be no: touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you.”
