    If you don't get coughed or sneezed on, there’s not much chance of catching it. 
    I’m sorry but that’s just not true. 

    A lot of people who’ve had this will have picked it up just through touch. 
    I didn’t think it was ingested through the skin.  Isn’t t that what hand washing or don't touch your face is about? 
    Hand to mouth??... :s
    Just as I said, if you don’t put your hands in your mouth, which is ‘don’t touch your face’ and wash your hands with lots of soap,  how then?

    I don't see what you're getting at Rik,  if you don’t want to catch it and don’t want to spread it, just don’t do those things, it’s been told to us so many times over the past few months.

    There's no evidence of blood-borne transmission so cuts and scratches shouldn't be a route to catching Covid, Rik.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    According to the doctor speaking about this on the radio the other day the COVID virus is found in body fluids.

    Let’s hope all those people who hogged the loo rolls and pasta bought all the condoms as well. 😉

    This is quite useful. Not that I'm planning on doing the six people gathering thing. Tbh I rarely do that even out of lockdown! But for those that are, this is in plain English (though complicated by each region having different rules!)

    Very clear and very helpful, thanks for posting it.

    Serious question.
    There's been a lot of talk about the international travel quarantine. But does anyone know what the rules are on internal travel in the UK?
    If I travelled to Devon by car - assuming the travel was allowed in the first place - would I need to isolate for 14 days on arrival? If I travelled back again, after 14+ days - ditto - would I have to isolate when I got back? What if the travel was by public transport - how would that work?
    From what I know, internal travel that includes ANY overnight stay isn't sanctioned. But if the travel was 'necessary', anyone know what the protocols would be?

    You can travel where you like, but no accommodation, cafe etc are open, ...yet.
    they are soon going to open the toilets some already are, and life guards on the beaches. 
    If you got a motor caravan with your own loo, then you can come and stay.  That’s if the police don’t move you on, but people are finding little places to tuck in and have been quite a while ago. 
    No quarantine, they’re trusting people to do the right thing, that’s a laugh!
