“Shops, gyms, and places of worship will all close, and social events including weddings, but not funerals-will be postponed.
“From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction- you must stay at home, because the critical thing to do is to stop the disease from spreading between households.
“People will only be allowed to leave their homes for the following very limited purposes; shopping for basic necessities, doing one form of exercise a day, providing medical services or going to work if it is absolutely vital.
“No Prime Minister wants to enact measure like this. I know the damage that this disruption is doing and will do to people’s lives, to their businesses and their jobs.” Boris said.
