<p>On 23 March, the Prime Minister announced that people will only be allowed to leave
their home for the very limited purposes including shopping for basic necessities,
one form of exercise a day; any medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable
person; and travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary
and cannot be done from home.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government has been
clear that there should be no public gatherings of more than two people.</p><p>There
are only two exceptions to this rule:</p><ul><li><p>where the gathering is of a group
of people who live together - this means that a parent can, for example, take their
children to the shops if there is no option to leave them at home.</p></li><li><p>where
the gathering is essential for work purposes - but workers should be trying to minimise
all meetings and other gatherings in the workplace.</p></li></ul><p>The Government
has also announced that social events, including weddings, baptisms and other religious
ceremonies should not take place. This will exclude funerals, which can be attended
by immediate family.</p><p> </p>
