Will people be able to travel to holiday accommodation that they have booked? Resulting in some remote parts of the country that have few people with the virus suddenly having a dramatic increase? Will we be in lockdown by then. If I go on a short holiday to the seaside next week [no shopping/social contact etc just walking on the beach] is there a chance I might not be allowed to return home?

You are not isolating if you stop for gas.

You are not isolating if you see your adult children.

What is so hard to understand? Stay home

With respect, I don't think people have actually properly read what I've said. We are not seeing adult children. We are not seeing/speaking to anyone. We are not shopping. Even if we stay at home we will probably need to get petrol at some point. But the imminent threat of a lockdown has made us decide not to go. The holiday with the family was going to be at Easter; we were thinking of going there before the family went and would have left before they arrived.

Yes we wouldn’t have come away if the order had been given out before we got here.

Do people still not understand? isolation is for those who have symptoms. Social distancing is for the rest of us oldies etc www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-on-social-distancing-and-for-vulnerable-people/guidance-on-social-distancing-for-everyone-in-the-uk-and-protecting-older-people-and-vulnerable-adults
