You don’t have to pay any attention to my advice. But it’s this. Assume the State is already in total lockdown. The government refuses to do it, but Covid is everywhere and spreading fast. Do the lockdown yourselves. You likely have little control over your work, but avoid all social gatherings, whether at home or in restaurants, shops, pubs etc. Assume wherever you go somebody is infected. Wear a decent mask where you can’t avoid people, and minimise your time with them. Open every window you can if it’s a shared space.
