When to stop travelling in and out of London?

[JadeDay]

I am anxious about coronavirus. Currently my work means I need to travel in and of london for the next few weeks, around once a week to give talks/ seminars at conferences etc (I am an academic). The conferences are for people from all over the country and world. At what point would you pull out? I am a key speaker on monday and really anxious about it!

I have to travel into London every day for work and I can't work from home. I'm just going to take precautions and keep going unless there is any specific advice not to. There's no other option really.

Although I see you are mixing with people from lots of places which I guess makes the anxiety worse.

Do you have any underlying health conditions that make it more likely you suffer? If not just keep on keeping on unless your are told otherwise.

I wouldn’t pull out until the government issues guidance to cancel non essential travel. Even with the rise in cases the current infection rate is low. You’ve just to to keep an eye on the advice as it changes.

I live and work on central London. It chokka with coughing tourists at the moment 🙄 it’ll be ok... just keep washing your hands (and using moisturiser)

It will not necessarily be okay.
Only you can decide, based on your own unique circumstances, if the risk is worth it.

I understand you're apprehensive and I guess many of us are in one way or another. The problem is if we all stop going to work then there will be massive economic and social implications, which the government are trying to avoid at the moment. Doctors, people working in utilities, factories, supermarkets, pharmacies, cleaners, bus drivers (and many other occupations) will be travelling around London and other affected areas. If they don't go to work because they're worried, then we really will be in trouble.
