The UK has begun a three-week lockdown in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Construction sites, however, are being allowed to remain open - as they are in other European nations - although housebuilder Taylor Wimpey has decided to close its sites, show homes and sale sites.
But he added:"We absolutely understand the situation that many self-employed people face at the moment as a result of what's happening and are determined to find a way to support them."The vast majority of Britons are being urged to work from home, unless considered a key worker - but images taken from above London have shown people flouting social distancing rules.
People are being urged to stay at least two metres from one another and only go out for essential supplies or exercise, which they should only do once per day. Pictures were also posted on Twitter of dozens of people brushing shoulders on the London Underground, which has been running a reduced service since mayor Sadiq Khan imposed restrictions to tackle COVID-19 last week.
