Coronavirus: Extensive Q&A with our Chief Science Educator, Alex Ruani

1. Should I be avoiding activities where I am close to others? e.g. going to get a haircut, going to the dentist, going to a beauty salon, even if they are taking social distancing measures?
2. How often should I be shopping for food, and what steps should I take to distance myself from other people at the supermarket?
3. Can I travel to help relatives, especially the elderly?
4. Can I take my children to the park or playground if there are other people there?
5. If not, how can I entertain the kids in the house?
6. What if I need prescriptions when I am self-isolating?
7. Can I go out with other members of my household if we aren’t showing symptoms, for example to the beach to walk the dogs?
8. What if I have symptoms that aren’t the “official” ones, like a sore throat. I’m an NHS worker and I am staying off with a sore throat – should I isolate for 7 days?
9. Is it safe to buy takeaway or drive-thru food? Can prepared food be infected?
10. What are the safest ways to socialise now? Can I have friends over?
11. How serious should my symptoms be before I stop going to see elderly relatives?
12. Should children be kept inside now whether or not they are showing symptoms?
13. What food should I be buying to help boost my immune system?
