Coronavirus UK – Government asks people to avoid non essential contact

People should work from home if they can

The PM has asked for everyone in the UK to avoid non-essential contact and if at all possible to work from home. He asked for people to avoid pubs, clubs, restaurants as well to try and stem the infection rare.

Also emergency workers will not support mass gatherings.

People with the “most serious health conditions” must avoid almost all social contact for 12 weeks, from this weekend

London is some weeks ahead of the rest of the country and Johnson emphasised the need for those in the capital to try and isolate wherever possible

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said anyone who lives with someone who has a cough or a temperature should stay at home for 14 days.

Families are being urged to stay at home for 14 days if any member of the household is ill, Johnson says. If one person in the household has the illness then everyone else in the home should also lock themselves down.

Johnson said: “This is going to be very disruptive.”

‘It is now clear that the peak of the epidemic is coming, faster in some parts of the country than in others. ‘It looks as though London is a few weeks ahead.’

The dramatic move came amid growing criticism of the UK government’s response, which has looked increasingly out of step with that around the globe. 

The World Health Organisation earlier swiped at the abandonment of testing for those with symptoms, saying it was like trying to ‘fight a fire blindfolded’. 

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
