Dr Luke Kane is an NHS GP working in central London. He has extensive international experience and worked in an Ebola Treatment Centre in Sierra Leone during the West African Ebola Epidemic of 2014-2016. Here, he answers questions on the government's new guidelines on minimising social contact.
Pubs, restaurants and venues are closed in New York, LA, Madrid, Paris, Berlin and Dublin – what are the particular risks associated with those types of establishments? The new guidance from the government today is to minimise social contact. This is really important if you are in a vulnerable group - for example, if you're pregnant, elderly or have medical conditions. Try a Skype dinner party instead!
