How are they going to carry this out will we all have to carry identity cards and get a prison sentence if we are found having a walk in the park ?

7 days, yes.

Interesting that the "fact" the virus is finished in seven days has now been extended to fourteen.

We get Ocado deliveries because we’re old and a bit feeble (also disabled and partially sighted).

So a bit of a shock today when the driver wouldn’t bring it through to the kitchen but left all the bags around the front door step.

Not helpful.

icelands near me are opening 9-11 on Wednesday for the oldies only x

If I set off now I might get to my local Iceland by the morning.

vulcan no it hasn't. the 14 days is for when one member of the household gets symptoms. 7 days are for their quarantine and the second 7 is to allow time to see if anyone else will get it.

Seven if you live alone, and fourteen if you live with others, starting from when the first person became ill.

Sorry, woofgang, I didn't see your post.

Allen I think that's a good thing they wouldn't come in. They could have the virus and not know it. I ask mine to leave my delivery outside my door.

[woofgang]

they are now supposed to leave stuff outside. No idea how sainsburys will cope as they have already removed all bags.

[douglas9401]

I guess they'll replace bags.

Ladybirder. Not sure where one draws the line between caution and fearful behaviour. I have a health professional coming on Thursday - do I assume she’s ‘clean’, or tell her to stay away?
