So confused about what we can and cannot do

[HouseElfy]

Just that really. Dh is now WFH, I WFH anyway and I've just made the decision to pull ds out of nursery. We have no garden and it is going to be hard but needs must.

What I'm not sure about is visiting family, namely my mum (in her early 50s, no underlying health issues, 30 mins drive away). Her work has also closed for the foreseeable future, have two siblings who live with her who are also WFH.

Can we go? Not go? The rules don't seem very clear.

What happens with partners you dont live with? My sister has a boyfriend but they don't live together, can they still see each other?!

@Youngatheart00 I WFH so she comes over to look after the baby while kids are at school once a week. I agree she shouldn't but she wanted to come one last time.

You could probably agree to form a closed group

Everyone in your household plus say a best friend or your parents agrees that only one person in the group will do the shopping for everyone and other than that, the only people you will see will be each other

Clearly means you can't use public transport to visit

@HouseElfy your friends may be, but the shouldn't be and if they are caught could be fined or face a custodial sentence. The Italian government has updated it's guidance to specify that "emotional/affective" reasons (visiting your boyfriend, relatives) are not justification for going out. Taking supplies or checking on vulnerable relatives is ok, but the person should go alone.
