  @Sarah my girlfriend works with this. She says the recommendation in the UK is to stay at home 7 days after you no longer have symptoms, which is a lot better.

  Yeah, I know, seems very strange! This is what I mean by us being given conflicting information! The U.K. has said it will now not test people for the virus unless they are in hospital for respiratory/pneumonia like symptoms, and that if you have a fever/cough you have to self isolate for 7 days - not the advises 14! And even then, some scientific evidence points to incubation being anything from 1-27 days, so it’s just limiting spread as oppose to eliminating the virus by the sounds of it

  @Sarah 7 days is half of WHO recommendation.

  Ha! Well, it seems to vary. Lots of people are very worried but also quite confused I think, as the advice is so varied - a local school had a teacher confirmed with it but they did nothing, then pupils started getting it do they closed! They’re saying to self isolate for 7 days if you’re ill at all, yet telling people to carry on as normal! Lots of shops have sold out of loo roll, pasta, soap etc! Very annoying if you’ve actually ran out of these things!😩🤣 how about where you are?
