People have been told to only leave their homes when they need essentials, like medicine and food, or once a day for exercise. When they are outside, gatherings are banned and people must stay more than six feet from one another. The measures have been introduced in a bid to slow the spread of Covid-19 to enable the NHS to cope with the sickest patients. Police have been given powers to fine or arrest those who are found to be flouting the rules. Dr David Hepburn is the ICU Consultant at Royal Gwent Hospital in Wales and has seen first hand the devastating impact of coronavirus.
