Yesterday we entered the Delay phase of our #COVID_19uk Action Plan. @UKScienceChief explained why this is important.

It allows us to #FlattenTheCurve, which means reducing the impact in the short-term to ensure our health & care system can effectively protect vulnerable people
Anybody that has a new continuous cough or a high temperature should stay at home for seven days.

Here’s why 👇
Schools will remain open for now.

The effect of closing schools is somewhat limited for this disease.

Closing schools may also have the effect of children going to stay with grandparents at a time when older people might be most vulnerable.

We know that everyone has lots of questions about #coronavirus.

Here’s a thread with more detail 🔽
We have confirmed 2 cases of coronavirus in England.

They have been transferred to a specialist infection unit in Newcastle where they are being cared for.

Risk to the public has not changed as a result.
We’ll continue to be posting updated testing figures at 2pm each day.

This week we'll be looking at 5 key challenges affecting the #NHS & #SocialCare workforce. We want to hear YOUR views through our #TalkHealthandCare platform on how we can improve your experience working in the sector. The first challenge explores whether staff feel empowered…
🎯CHALLENGE: Staff don’t always feel in control or empowered about the decisions regarding the care they provide, leaving them feeling unsupported by their colleagues. We want to create an environment where staff can fulfil their potential. Have your say: dhscworkforce.crowdicity.com/category/29628
📊 More than 70% of staff feel their manager values their work [Source: NHS Staff Survey’17] – but we want EVERYONE to feel supported & empowered. How can we ensure this happens? Join the #TalkHealthAndCare conversation: bit.ly/2OAtDoS

New advice from UK government: "we are approaching the fast growth part of upward curve. Cases could double every 5-6 days". If you have symptoms stay at home for 14 days. Do not go out. Ideally ask others for help #coronavirus
Boris Johnson: "Everyone now must stop all non-essential contact. Everyone must now work at home if they can. Especially over-70s, pregnant women and those with underlying conditions"
"In a few days we will go further. The vulnerable will be shielded from others for 12 weeks".

I’m really worried people aren’t taking #coronavirus seriously enough. Comments from friends and how busy it is in town make me think that a lot of people are going about their lives as normal.

THIS IS A THREAD ON WHAT YOU NEED TO DO 1/ CORONAVIRUS: What you need to do
YOU NEED TO STAY AT HOME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, STARTING TODAY. IT WILL LITERALLY SAVE LIVES.

Work from home if you can. Try to shop less often. Don’t go to the pub. Don’t get a haircut. Don’t use public transport if you can avoid it, try to go when it’s less busy if you have to.
If you feel even a tiny bit ill—a slight temperature, a small cough, any aches—STAY AT HOME FOR SEVEN DAYS.

Try to avoid other members of your household too so you don’t infect them. The Government’s guidance on self-isolation is very helpful: gov.uk/government/pub…

“I don’t think my child will be prioritised when push comes to shove... he’s non verbal, he’s severely disabled. So many reasons to say ‘don’t bother with him’ “
Had so many 💔conversations with parents of children with disabilities today
#CoronaOutbreak
Tomo @BBCBreakfast
Parents like @Danwhite1972 who cares 27/7 for his disabled wife & daughter “who’ll step in and help if I’m sick?”
Right now there are 120,000 vacancies in social care
Not enough for the people already in system
@BBCBreakfast
Parents like @hillsideliz Liz “I don’t know how he’ll cope when he can’t do the things he loves. When you struggle to make sense of the world & everything changes, the bottom falls out of your world. Change can make him distressed & distress can lead to crisis”

NEW: The UK publishes its approach to negotiating the future #UK - #EU relationship gov.uk/government/pub… UK already saying that it wants a "Canada", "Korea" or "Japan" style relationship and wants to be seen as a "sovereign equal". None of this likely to fly anywhere...
Here is the document itself with some key bits highlighted (thread) assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
Point 5: "relationship between sovereign equals" is - although UK Gov entitled to say this - delusional. #UK much smaller than #EU and more exposed to EU economically than vice-versa. Sovereignty argument coming through strongly here.
