Covid-19 Isolation Support Thread

Work have been circulating lots of helpful stuff as we are now (mostly) working remotely, including this link to advice from MIND which I thought I'd share as other people might find it useful:

My anxiety is through the roof over my son. He informed his Ward last night and he has been told to self isolate for seven days then come back to work. He won’t be tested. His partner has been told to self isolate from university for 14 days. 

His temperature has come down to 38° and he didn’t get a great nights sleep because his spine and head ache. 

They tracing everyone they had contactWith for the last seven days

I'm amazed they are even tracing. Thought they had given up with all that stuff. Good luck to him anyway x

How many of us are in isolation alone and what are you doing to keep your mind off it/occupied etc. I used to get out most days just for a small shop or short walk to keep joints moving or just get some fresh air. I've now been in alone for just a few days and long to just get out.

Hi everyone I am not sure if this will help you, but in Wales, if you are a member of a library you can ask them for a PIN for their online library, you can get hundreds of ebooks and audiobooks and all the Uk magazines, for free to read at your leisure. That will help to fill in a few hours during isolation.

Me and MrB took our dogs to the common today and met up with our son and his dog, walked together keeping well apart, hope to do that again.
