Separated families and social distancing

What are people doing about their separated families and social distancing? My ex is due to have the children this weekend, with his gf and her daughter who would of seen her dad this week. I will be having my bf and his children staying over tonight and tomorrow after they have just been to their mums who also has a step daughter who stays over regularly. This is our normal set up but doesn’t exactly sit with the social distancing. We are just one family and are Lots of households with the movement of children. Is it ok to just carry on as we normally do? I don’t see what we can do about this?

Ours doesn't even allow for exceptional circumstances... who even knew these things would be needed... 😔

Watching with interest as my DCs are due to go to their dads this weekend and I have the added complexity of a restraining order and handover needing to take place at my vulnerable parents.

Maybe if I don’t see my bf and my ex doesn’t see his gf then our dc can just go between our houses so then there’s no other people involved. I really hate the fact I won’t be able to see my bf for what might be months because we don’t live together. Also that our children won’t be able to have time together.
My bf is already really stressed as works in the hospital and the thought of not being able to see me for a while has really upset him more. I have explained that with so many households in our set up we might have to cut something out. Although there’s no point until the schools close.

I’m really interested in what others are doing as it’s so confusing atm
