“As we head into a week with uniquely risky inter-household and inter-generational mixing, please remember to act responsibly.
“Start this weekend. It is never too late to cut down your contacts, cancel plans, or avoid a crowd.
“Bear in mind that you may well be the link in a chain of transmission that ends with a vulnerable loved one catching this dangerous disease. Stop that chain of transmission now – limit your movements today.”
