It’s “strongly advised” not compulsory.It shouldn’t be announced as “have to” maybe they will recommend but it should be left to us to decide. The have-to thing is scary- it’s confusing.
They're trying to keep everyone alive. There hasn't been time yet to figure out how to fund or help everyone who gets serious trouble from it.if by the weekend all Diabetics have to stay in for 12 weeks how do we claim benefits to help pay rents ect.

I think that's the right order to do things. Postponing action to keep people from dying because the financial consequenses haven't been solved yet doesn't make much sense.
Times are uncertain for many at the moment. I trust most of us will be saved from ending up on the streets somehow but I'm afraid financial hits will be inevitable.
Same boat for me - I work a zero hours contract as a supply teacher to supplement my student loan while I’m at uni. So as we’ve been pulled from placement, I shall work whatever hours I can while I can.I rang my drs today and they said they wouldn’t give me a sick line unless I was actually sick and if I have no symptoms I should go to work as normal. My uni has closed from tomorrow but I work in McDonald’s who have said they will stay open until told to close although they have moved to take away and drive thru only. I can’t afford to not go in cuz I’m on a zero hour contract. Available information is conflicting and confusing.
