Title: UK Gov Text Msg
Post by: Windy Miller on March 24, 2020, 11:14:41 am: (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1585048982_image.png)Just got this text and link from the Government.

https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

Again emphasising only 'essential work' as a reason to leave the house.
Clarity is needed for what essential work entails but in my opinion, it'll start with blue light staff and include electricity and other infrastructure workers, we will definitely not be included.
I assume a detailed list will be announced soon on this...

Of course, but a lot on here are still trying to convince themselves that they're working because it is 'essential'.

Have you even read what the government sent out?

Here, I'll quote it for you:

travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.

Can you understand that or does it need further explanation?

Fair one; then I understand your confusion. I didn't get the text till last night.
