Work was alright. The disinfecting step of my job has ramped up since last week - I went from using Dettol disinfectant wipes to using a murky brown disinfectant that requires rubber gloves to apply safely. It looks like my job is staying open - same with other businesses that aren't "essential" per se. Those non-essential businesses stayed open today, I think we're all waiting for clarification on what counts as essential. Churches, gyms, pubs, halls and maybe malls - anywhere where people swarm in large groups - are definitely closed though.

It looks like restaurants will stay open, but only for takeaway food - no dining in. And stuff that stayed open today might be closing by the end of the week depending on the official verdict. We got the closure news at 10pm last night with a deadline of noon today, and no-one knows what's going on.

@LightningAce11 - I think freelance work is gonna be okay given that you obey basic social distancing, if human contact is a requirement. You might even be able to work remotely if that's a possibility. Things are looking a lot better today than they were last night.

Everywhere in town is putting tape on the floor to mark the socially appropriate distance that people have to stand at. I went to my local games shop, one of my town's supermarkets, a non-essential supermarket that sells pillows and toys and snacks and video games, etc. and the bank. The local game shop is very local, and they hadn't marked the floor, but everywhere else I went did. That's on top of my workplace, which is also marking the floor with tape.

The next 2 days will be interesting, that's for sure. That's when "essential" and "non-essential" will be defined.
