        • Everyone should work from home if they are able to.
        • All ‘unnecessary’ visits to friends and relatives in care homes should cease.
        • People should only use the NHS “where we really need to” – and can reduce the burden on workers by getting advice on the NHS website where possible.
        • By next weekend, those with the most serious health conditions must be ‘largely shielded from social contact for around 12 weeks.
        • The UK is now three weeks behind Italy – the worst-hit country in Europe.
        • If one person in any household has a persistent cough or fever, everyone living there must stay at home for 14 days.
        • Those people should, if possible, avoid leaving the house “even to buy food or essentials”- but they may leave the house “for exercise and, in that case, at a safe distance from others.
        • Schools will not be closed for the moment.
        Chief medical adviser Prof Chris Whitty said the group of people who should take “particular care to minimise their social contact” were:
        • People over the age of 70
        • Other adults who would normally be advised to have the flu vaccine (such as those with chronic diseases)
        • Pregnant women
