Coronavirus: PM says everyone should avoid non-essential travel - BBC News

"Now is the time for everyone to stop non-essential contact with others and to stop all unnecessary travel," the prime minister says.

Here are some key points:

Anyone who lives with someone who has a cough or a temperature should stay at home for 14 days
