Quarantine & 20 year old daughter

I'm chronically ill & have been included in the Governments shielding plan for the extremely vulnerable due to my diseases and illnesses.
My daughter is refusing to acknowledge the risk to me and is carrying on with her daily life, meeting friends etc. I have pleaded and begged for her to stay in otherwise I will report her myself. Deaf ears. I'm so stressed with it that I'm not sleeping and have lost weight through stress, can't bring myself to eat either. I'm petrified she will catch it. She has made me hate her for putting herself, myself and others at risk. I don't know who to ring. She refuses to move out. I can't find a number to ring to report her, Its breaking me to have to do this, I fear this will be the end of our relationship. Tried ringing the council but can't get through

This is impossible for you.
Has she said why she refuses to acknowledge your situation ?
Is there another family member or friend that could talk to her ?
Are none of her friends following the rules ?
Maybe you need to give her an ultimatum. You say next time you go out I will be locking the house up and you will not be able to get back in. Your clothes will be left in a case by the front door. Tell her that she is not gambling with your life. That if she cares so little for you that you will not support her. Care is a two way thing Then do it.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this.

I'm a 21 year old female and I live with my mum and my auntie- (auntie has dementia and heart failure) and we have not been out once.

I'm sorry if this seems blunt but she's only a year younger than me so it seems shocking that she's not realising the extent of this virus? People are literally dying alone in the hospitals having to phone their family's to say goodbye. Do not let her gamble with your life, if she goes out again call the police and report her and her friends. Not only is it putting you at risk but other people too. Absolutely no reason to be going outside.

Try and stay strong and stand your ground. You gave her the gift of life, the least she could do protect yours x

Lock the door when she’s out and don’t let her back in. She can declare herself homeless to the council. And you can call the police too.

Why can't you kick her out?
