Clarification please?

Morning all,

A so-called quick question. The govt. announced initially self isolation for asthmatics, heart failure patients and those with chronic kidney disease.[winning corona bingo....] (Amongst others diabetes was on that list too) I prepped and planned and started the process last Wednesday. I’ve not had a letter as that criteria is quite narrow. My grown up children are adamant we’re to stay indoors and continue to self isolate but nothing reads true on the govt,com website. Is it me or have they changed their minds? Am happy at home have food, medication and company but it would be good to know the criteria had changed and you either do or don’t

Am I doing the right thing? Mx
