stellajane - the advice at 4.30 p.m. was that EVERYONE remains at home if 1 in the household shows symptoms of a cold which may be the virus. Which starts with aches and a fever. 1 person alone isolates for 7 days. Any more in the household and they all isolate for 14 as this may turn out to be a rolling incubation period: 5 days up to 28 days B4 symptoms show. Then it probably needs to be everyone stay at home for 5 days after people stop feeling ill.
Not going out is to stop the spread which will release hospital admissions. Staggering I think the word is that I am searching for
. If you think of the common cold: 3 days to catch it, 3 to suffer, 3 to give it away. Usually we have symptoms B4 the cold breaks, often there's 3-4 days between. Last year we had a cold which I started within 48 hours of Himself coughing and spluttering. That's the 1 where I continued to cough for over 12 months
. That particular bug didn't make me feel ill after 12 hours as other colds have done. Viruses are variable in their intent
Nowt to do with insurance as many Policies will not cover this type of pandemic. They will probably catch passing trade, I would drop by if the place wasn't busy. I have favourite cafes in various places across the UK ....... the LAs are giving small businesses tax/rent breaks apparently.
