UK: Just as a reminder what the "delay phase" in the UK would entail, this is

from the Government's Action Plan:

"Action that would be considered could include population distancing strategies

(such as school closures, encouraging greater home working, reducing the number

of large-scale gatherings) to slow the spread of the disease throughout the

population, while ensuring the country's ability to continue to run as normally

as possible. The UK governments' education departments' planning assumptions

include the possibility of having to close educational settings in order to

reduce the spread of infection.

We would consider such measures in order to protect vulnerable individuals with

underlying illnesses and thus at greater more at risk of becoming seriously

affected by the disease. The effectiveness of these actions will need to be

balanced against their impact on society."
