A member asked:
Because i am self isolating due to my type 1 diabetes, should my wife who is a nurse in a gp surgery, be isolating with me? or is it safe for her to still go to work?

More than a virus: Following local authorities recommendations, specifically if she has access to appropriate protective equipment would be the way to go. It is more than a personal decision and even though anxiety is hitting high levels such a decision would have multiple implications, including social and financial.
