Social distancing and self-isolation are not interchangeable! The only commonality is to wash your hands thoroughly and frequently!
EVERYONE in the UK should be social distancing at the moment.
Avoid contact with other people unless necessary. SIMPLE!
Work from home unless you are a key worker
Keep children at home unless you are a key worker
Avoid public transport.
Do not go to public buildings such as a GP surgery.
Don’t attend parties or social gatherings.
You can go for walks but try to stay 2 metres away from any other person
Self isolation is for those at risk, the vulnerable, including the elderly and pregnant.
Stay at home and do not go out. SIMPLE!
If you or anyone in your family has symptoms then stay in the house for 14 days and avoid having visitors.
We all need to play our part in saving lives.
This is only temporary.
The sadness of not seeing loved ones for big events like Mother’s Day or birthdays is tiny compared to the grief of losing a loved one and bearing the guilt of being responsible for infecting them.
PLEASE support your community and country by staying home unless absolutely necessary!
