Anyone shielding in a small flat with no garden?

My ds and his gf are. I feel so sorry for them as they were just in the process of buying their first house and it would have been so much better for them.
He's a transplant patient and she is pregnant and shielding for his sake.
I wondered if they could take a short walk at night but advice is to stay in 24/7 possibly for months Sad

Yes. With a 9 month old and a 20 month old.. worse part is i have a house with a huge garden waiting for me for when this is over but someone is living in it right now and im not going to kick them out during lovkdown.

@TheGirlWithAPrince poor you.
Yes they are the same. Half way to having a nice house with a garden but obv all on hold.
Do you go out for any fresh air or not?

Use their judgement obviously. But the virus is heavier than normal air so falls to the ground if people breathe particles out so walking in a quiet place in the open air is low risk. Accidentally touching things is an issue so consider location

Yes I thought the same. No people no touching good hygiene on arrival home. Just sitting in a studio flat all day must be horrendous and surely a risk for dvt for both of them.
