Share your lockdown views with us.
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said people should now only leave their homes for one of four reasons and has banned public gatherings of more than two people and ordered the closure of non-essential shops.
When can I leave the house
- Shopping for “basic necessities, as infrequently as possible”
- One form of exercise a day alone or with family members
- “Medical need, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person”
- Travel to or from work “where this is absolutely necessary”
These strict measures were introduced in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus, which has infected more than 8,000 people across the country and claimed the lives of 422 people, including three in Swindon.
People in Swindon, although obviously not thrilled at being cooped up in their homes, have in the whole accepted the instructions and stayed home.
We are asking Swindon residents to share their views with us from their windows and we will share them with our readers.
