Lockdown Question

[PinkSparklyPussyCat]

How does it work if a lockdown is announced? If I was at work would I have to stay there indefinitely with no clean clothes, medication etc?

Except it isn't but doesn't let facts get in way.

Italy's "lockdown" (going by SkyNews & Guardian Live)

It will hit the economy, but most economic activity will continue

People will continue work, but leisure activities curtailed
(and no work for those employed in such activities)

• All public gatherings cancelled

• but public transport continues, so presumably platforms are excluded

So temporary proximity of large numbers is ok

but bans / closes all cinemas, theatres, gyms, discos and pubs, funerals (??), weddings and all sport events,

• Also all schools and universities closed until next month
