Just that really, can no longer find the list of countries on the uk government website. I am unsure of what the protocol now is.

I checked government advice before I left UK Friday but obviously the situation has developed rapidly.
As the UK has moved from a containment to delay phase does this mean isolation only has to be followed if symptoms showing? When did you return?

If you're in France I'd get out pretty quickly, it'll go into lockdown very soon.

I'm in France we're expecting macron to announce a lockdown tonight hopefully giving everyone 48 hours to get to where they need to be before it's effective.

4 people were sent home from work this morning after they started coughing. I think the virus is pretty much everywhere here.

Yup, that's what I've heard. And for the first time since the virus has been identified, I've seen empty shelves in supermarkets. Once the announcement is made, we are going to avoid going shopping for as long as possible.

As for whether you need to self-isolate - everyday I hear of cases connected to us (colleagues, friends of colleagues, parents of children at our school etc.). So it's pretty much everywhere.

I'm just back from France last night and went out very early to get food in as fridge was empty having been away. Now I'm staying at home for the foreseeable future.

No-one told us anything or gave us any advice though .. my own decision
