Six months?

The COVID Diaries – 11   29th March pm

Deputy chief medical office Dr Jenny Harries has warned that the current lockdown could go on for six months, with a return to a normal way of life not happening until the autumn.

The current measures – stopping all non-essential travel, working from home whenever possible and one opportunity for external exercise a day – will not impact immediately. Even when the spread of the coronavirus has been slowed, it will be a gradual process to lift the restrictions and ease the social distancing measures.

We’re in for the long haul.
