• If you are clinically vulnerable you can go outside as much as you like but you should still try to keep your overall social interactions low. There is additional advice that clinically extremely vulnerable people must follow
• Hospitality settings, such as bars, pubs, cafes, restaurants, and social clubs must close except for takeaway, delivery and click and collect services
• Everyone who can work effectively from home should do so.
