Do I stay away from my live out partner?

This may seem a ridiculous question to most as the government guidelines seem clear. But, I'm just a tad confused and am posting here so that I don't do the wrong thing. So please be kind!

I have made sure I have applied social distancing rule, stayed home unless essential trips and as I've lost my job, I've managed to avoid contact with people easily.

My partner of 5 years lives an hour away. We usually take it in turns each weekend where he will stay at mine with his son and vice versa the following weekend with me and my children staying at his.

What happens now? So far we have not seen each other but is that the case from now on? And for how long? Weeks/months?

And what about my children seeing their dad? They would usually see him twice a month.

Thank you

Yes, you should avoid contact for now. I know it’s crap, but try to only have close contact with those actually living in your home. For now just Skype. No one knows how long this will be for, but hopefully not for too long.

Yes. I have a live-out partner, and I haven't seen him for two weeks ... and counting.

It makes sense. One of many things that's hard to get my head around.
