We will want to make sure 'democracy carries on' Boris Johnson outlines plans for Parliament, but says vulnerable people within Westminster will receive 'protection that they need' during the pandemic Latest: CoronavirusOutbreak
Some BBC News journalists have been self-isolating so we asked them to give us their updates from life in quarantine. Earlier you heard from Toby, here's Ash.I went to a small event last week and the following day found out that one of the other people there had flown back from Italy the day before, and had come to the event instead of self-isolating. Public Health England told everyone at the event to immediately isolate for seven days.
I’ve also started worrying a lot about my mum. She’s a consultant respiratory physician, so is dealing directly with suspected Covid-19 patients - but she has some underlying health issues herself. It’s also not as easy for healthcare workers, who are needed on the frontlines of this thing right now, to go into self-isolation.
I had a few things coming up that will almost certainly be cancelled - a belated birthday dinner with my extended family, an anniversary dinner with my husband, a weekend trip to Paris - but I’m not really bothered. All that stuff seems kind of trivial at the moment. I’m happy to cancel everything and stay in isolation if it helps us weather this pandemic as well as possible.
