!james Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 close all shops selling non-essential goods, including clothing and electronic stores and other premises including libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms, and places of worship;w we will stop all gatherings of more than two people in public – excluding people you live with; and we’ll stop all social events, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies, but excluding funerals. That is why people will only be allowed to leave their home for the following very limited purposes: shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently as possible one form of exercise a day - for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household; any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person; and travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home. You should not be meeting friends. If your friends ask you to meet, you should say No. You should not be meeting family members who do not live in your home. You should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine — and you should do this as little as you can. And use food delivery services where you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 From yesterday "when the epidemic's hardly spreading at all", we're now on lockdown.

Education and childcare This includes childcare, support and teaching staff, social workers and those specialist education professionals who must remain active during the COVID-19 response to deliver this approach. Key public services This includes those essential to the running of the justice system, religious staff, charities and workers delivering key frontline services, those responsible for the management of the deceased, and journalists and broadcasters who are providing public service broadcasting. Local and national government This only includes those administrative occupations essential to the effective delivery of the COVID-19 response, or delivering essential public services, such as the payment of benefits, including in government agencies and arms length bodies. Food and other necessary goods This includes those involved in food production, processing, distribution, sale and delivery, as well as those essential to the provision of other key goods (for example hygienic and veterinary medicines). Public safety and national security This includes police and support staff, Ministry of Defence civilians, contractor and armed forces personnel (those critical to the delivery of key defence and national security outputs and essential to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic), fire and rescue service employees (including support staff), National Crime Agency staff, those maintaining border security, prison and probation staff and other national security roles, including those overseas.

If workers think they fall within the critical categories above, they should confirm with their employer that, based on their business continuity arrangements, their specific role is necessary for the continuation of this essential public service. If your school is closed, then please contact your local authority, who will seek to redirect you to a local school in your area that your child, or children, can attend. We are grateful for the work of teachers and workers in educational settings for continuing to provide for the children of the other critical workers of our country. It is an essential part of our national effort to combat this disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 4 hours ago, And Its Smith said: Is anyone falling out with family members who aren’t conducting themselves properly in all this? Brexit caused family arguments so assuming this is as well. Fallen out with my brother who is being quite selfish. Close. Considering the ill father in law, partner decided to go for a drink Friday with a friend before picking up the takeaway. Completely unnecessary and irresponsible Just told me I better be careful who I come into contact with at my Nans funeral next week and shouldn't stay too long. Fair point on it's own, but didnt like the double standards being pointed out *i did get sent home to work today though, so this is day 1 of who knows how many at home together... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is I guess that if he`s stopped on his way there he can say his boss told him he had to come in but I`m self employed so wouldn`t have that as an excuse.
