If you've had CV can you go out, go to work etc?

Confirmed by a test of course, not just 'I think that was it's.

Why would they still need to be in lockdown?

Presumably loads of people who hadn’t had it would start going out too, and who has the resources to check who’s telling the truth?

We don’t yet know whether having it makes you immune. Even if it does you may still carry the virus on you which could affect others. We just don’t know yet.

You can still carry it on your hands.

There’s nothing to confirm you can’t catch it twice at this stage.

Isn,t it not for 12 wks.??
Have you checked the NHS website?

I suppose every man jack and his dog would be out claiming they'd already had it... And it would take too many resources to check at this stage.

from what i read, it takes up to 2 weeks to stop passing on the virus even after you've tested negative...so eventually yes but not the first day of feeling better.

Isn,t it not for 12 wks.??

Nothing to do with if you have had it the 12 weeks are for vunerable people to isolate.

I haven't had it myself.
Most experts I've heard seem to think it's very likely you will be immune after having it.
If they're rolling out testing to see how many people have had it, well what advice are these people then going to get? Still stay at home?

Well 'I think I have had it' last week, and I will probably go to the shop tomorrow as the guidance says I can go out 7 days from first symptoms if the symptoms have now stopped.

So why would a confirmed case not be able to? Presume you realise the vast majority of cases are not confirmed at the present moment, probably at least 95%, people aren't just making it up for the hell of it?

I was wondering the same thing OP.

I get the risks around people not knowing or falsely claiming they have had it but all that aside I wonder if they would be exempt from the lockdown. Maybe we'll see as some of the high profile people with it recover?!

I was wondering the same thing after listening to the PM briefing today about plans to (hopefully) be able to roll out antibody testing to see who has had it.

It would make sense that people who have had it don’t need to be in full lockdown anymore, and some flexibility on lockdown could help to minimise impact to the economy, so I can imagine Boris changing the advice to reflect that. That’s all speculation though and no idea how it would work in practice 🤷‍♀️
