How to self-isolate to prevent the spread of coronavirus

This also applies to anyone feeling the same symptoms if they returned from Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar or parts of northern Italy, since 19 February.

People will also be asked to self-isolate if they have been in"close and sustained" contact with individuals confirmed to have the virus. Spending 15 minutes within two metres of an infected person is judged to be a significant risk. Although you might not be able to separate yourself from family members or flatmates, entirely, the advice is to limit contact as much as possible.recommends washing your hands often, using soap and water for at least 20 seconds - especially after coming into contact with the patient or something that they have handled.

A good swig from the hand sanitizer should kill off most of the stuff coming out of r4today

Self isolation = no sick pay. I for one won’t be until I’m guaranteed it. I have bills to pay. It’s only the ones that get sick pay who will be self isolating so it’ll still spread

Can’t imagine those on zero hrs contracts & no sick pay entitlement being able to afford to ‘ self isolate’

4 horsemen ? BBCTomFeilden

Thank you BBC news for showing me how to wash my hands. up until now I've just been using battery acid and rough sandpaper.. Well done BBC - another winner.

After the SARS virus outbreak started off in a wild animal market in China why on Earth didn’t they ban these markets and we might not have this new one now. I hope that have finally learned their lesson.

No. Get the gov testing instead on a larger scale. Stay at home is too late for many.

Stop believing the hysteria. No one here in the States is doing anything differently. The media here lies profusely, you should already know that. It’s an agenda from the left to tank our market so they can blame Trump. Very demented Democrats here. MyPresident

Ignore BBC!!! That’s how

By ignoring media bullshit.

Is this like in Dr Who where we ask the virus why it’s doing this to us and realise it just wants to be loved? Feed it some bats, help it return to the planet corona and everyone lives happily ever after?

Ehhh........Stay indoors.

Chevening?

Resistance and Immunity are the only two things we are given at birth.

I returned from Asia from a cruise on February 6. I had neither on return but there masks were free and sanitisers. I only had sanitisers from bird flu. But I think all business including transport should provide clean sanitised premises and facilities in every case regardless.

By avoiding the BBC scaremongering

Change your name to Toby?

And let the panic begin

What are the risks and special precautions for people with suppressed immune systems e.g. transplant recipients who take immunosuppressive meds to protect the transplanted organ?

With my new dress 😂😂

Heard that Oregano and garlic is quite good. Heard that we should place cloves of garlic all around the house and on radiators as well.

Successfully it is done in isolation in your home. Unsuccessfully it is done in public, surrounded by a huge crowd of coughing people with the virus. COVID2019 coronavirus

We need to close the borders of the EU to stop Coronavirus asap! Otherwise, it will be too late!

now available, in open office models

Mike Pence demonstrates what not to do when trying to avoid spreading germs..... coronavirus TrumpVirus

It's called 'cocooning' arrange deliveries of supplies. Get everything you wld want on a holiday & get ready to enjoy being at home. The garden will be lovely.

Move to Bullwell

best to self isolate in public in brexit voting constituencies

Turn off the BBC

A laptop, broadband and no one walking in your room.

Does anyone know how long the virus lasts for ? I’ve had it for 2 weeks now

Turkey has started a rightful operation against Syrian Regime to protect its borders after the vicious attacks by Syrian Regime against civilians in Turkey controlled zones. Turkey has opened its doors to Europe for 72 hours. All immigrants are free to pass!!!!!!!! 🇹🇷🇹🇷

With a stack of jazz mags?

lynette_doman I love how some people are seeing enough news to concern them about symptoms but not enough news to see about how to manage them. Let’s just self present at ED unannounced 😏😏

BBCWorld Aaaaah I’ve got it, when Boris hides in the fridge he’s isolating himself

BBCWorld Just coil up like a burrito in bed and drink tea...

All good and well saying to self isolate if you think you may have it, but what about all the people who don’t get sick pay? Bills aren’t going to magically disappear and SSP is pants.

BBCWorld Start with a smile and a tv remote

Mass skive coming on😂

Helpful, calming reporting 👍

Tbh BBC news is better than Sky as BBC already have your cash so they just report news whereas Sky News want you to watch their TV show so they put out all the 'we are doomed and going to die' posts so you watch their show and they collect advert income. Check the differance.

Hilarious stuff. We have the flu every winter . God seriously phone a hospital this November onwards you will get as every year same crappy recorded message about if you have flu symptoms stay at home dont go out blah blah. In the summer they play the Nova virus one. Next.

BBCWorld This is a no brainer for those of us who lean toward being introverts & hermits. 😶

BBCWorld Best to start by isolating all Chinese, South Koreans and Italians.. borders are there for a reason

Switch off BBCPolitics and bbcquestiontime and you will feel instantly improved.....

Best not check anyone coming into the country for symptoms then! coronavirusus

BBCWorld rubbish

Thank you so much for showing what they mean by self isolate. We haven't received a lot of practical advices where we live and today there were six confirmed cases in our country.

What a load of crap by the BBC.

You lost me at Step 1, along with the minimum 150 million people, or 2% of the world population who are homeless.

Wow 13 cases and rather than report facts and actual figures and the chance of infection in normal daily life... You chose to go this route? What happened to the BBC reporting facts and news.. impartially and honestly rather than going for ratings

BBCWorld (Has Phillip Schofield read this I wonder..?)

On a cruiseship? 🤔

BBCWorld This guy is used to isolation. It's his life.

this_vid

BBCWorld Been preparing for this my whole life

Let’s self isolate from the BBC

I have agoraphobia so this will be a breeze

More like ‘how to spread fear and panic’.

Did this really need to be made? 😂

Dont see what the fuss is about, I’ve been self isolating for the past 28yrs

Step 6:

BBC is the preferred method of accurate information over that of the US government.

You need to give people instructions on how to stay at home?

I have autism so this isn't an issue

And sound the Plague Bell

Is that what Johnson’s doing?

Delhi riots 2020😥😥😥

FFS is this type of scaremongering necessary.

This has been my hangover strategy for years.

On behalf of HM Government?

Feel sorry for the poor people who work at the emergency services call centres getting thousands of calls a day of people moaning about a cough

I self isolated for 30 mins this morning. That should do the trick.

Funerals in Britain, Summer 2020

BBCWorld it was very nicely explained !

Shouldn’t we hide in a freezer like Boris?

More chance of being knocked down by a car & killed than catching this, less of the scaremongering.

Don't forget the flag!

The world will soon be owned by those with compulsive hand washing disorder.

BBCWorld This is the bleeding obvious

Where do you get food from? We can't all afford Ocardo?

Let's be realistic most people in this country won't have the discipline to self isolate

I have social anxiety so this really isn’t an issue lol

Take supplements such as ginseng which boosts the immune system. Most cases in China are being treated using herbal medicine
