Over 70s Need to Self-isolate

Over 70s Need to Self-isolate

From the UK, 15 March

Ministers are planning to give police the power to arrest people with coronavirus who are not self-isolating, the Health Secretary has confirmed.

Matt Hancock said “we will stop at nothing” in tackling the Covid-19 outbreak as he detailed a series of severe measures the Government is considering.

Bars, restaurants and shops other than supermarkets and pharmacies could be shut while over-70s will be asked in the coming weeks to stay indoors for up to four months, he said.

Mr Hancock also confirmed a report that emergency legislation being drawn up by the Government will include allowing police the power to arrest infected citizens.

I hope that the people are not sheeple and actually do this. I hope they all go about their business in force. Time will tell what happens...

I would not be surprised is the government says after the people are out of self-isolation that they have to go back again because they got “reinfected,” or some such nonsense. As you know, man's laws are built on shifting sand; always changing, no standard.
