The Government are advising people against all unnecessary social contact with others and all unnecessary travel.

We need people to start working from home if they possibly can.

We should steer clear of pubs, clubs, cinemas and restaurants.

We should only use the NHS when we really need to do so.

This advice is directed at everyone, but it’s especially important for the over 70s, for pregnant women and for those with some health conditions.

We recognise that these measures will be disruptive, but they will save lives.
