Isolation of house hold members

Hiya I'm new to this forum,

i finished radio 2 weeks ago, I live with my boyfriend and he's started going to work he works outdoors and with 2 other people but has been sicking to social distancing rules. Should he be doing that or should he be isolating with me? 
I'm classes as very vunrable and I've got a letter saying I should isolate for 12 more weeks from now? 
I'm so unsure of what to do someone needs to work to pay the bills! I know my health is more important but what should I do? Help please

  • Hi Britney,

    Your boyfriend can go out to work but, if he can't adequately social distance it would be better if you can both live in different parts of the house. I have several cancer patient friends whose partners have continued to work so my friends have kept themselves to a seperate part of the house, cooked their own meals, washed their own stuff & disinfected the bathroom before & after they've the used it (if you only have one bathroom). They only socialise with their partner in the garden (socially distancing of course).
