LOCKDOWN; These are the only reasons you're allowed to leave your house
The Prime Minister has announced lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus.
These are the only reasons - from tonight - that you can leave your house:
- Shopping for necessities (food and medicine) - non-essential shops (like clothes shops) will be shut
- Medical reasons - ie, go to a hospital
- If you care for a vulnerable person
- To excerice ONCE a day only
- Travel to work IF you are a key worker or absolutely necessary
You should undertake all of the above alone - or with members of your household only.
Police will have the powers to stop you if you do not comply.
