Hi everyone,

Sorry to bring up this topic again but this is such a worrying time for those of us expecting!

I’m wondering if anyone has had any advice in the UK about “social distancing”? It’s been advised that pregnant people “social distance” themselves to avoid infection, potentially for 12 weeks! However, what about our partners? My husband is a police officer and so he is more likely to be in contact with those who may have COVID-19. Do I have to make sure we self isolate in the house? Should he tell work so they can maybe pull him from front line. I’m only 5 weeks so really really early stages but obviously don’t want to be at any risk. What are other UK couples doing if your partner is in a job mixing with the general public. There’s no guidance on those who live with “at risk” people.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks
