A quarantine is in effect in Great Britain. People cannot leave their homes except for essential reasons. Purchasing food, collecting prescriptions, or key workers going to work all count as essential reasons. However, people can take a walk or go for a run to get their daily exercise. Exercising outdoors is all good, but a one-hour maximum time is in place. There is talk of making face masks mandatory, in a similar way to the rules in the UAE right now.
The UK is running low on medical supplies. Hospital workers and healthcare professionals cannot get ahold of enough equipment to meet demands. The UK urgently needs critical medical supplies.
