Seriously, don't take advice from here. It's just people who actually know no more than you me or anyone else. Listen to the advice of the professionals.

Like just about every other non medic I probably haven't taken this seriously enough. Everyone should watch this short BBC Newsnight video. Last evening I had a hospital appointment for an unrelated issue & when we arrived the hospital had briefly locked itself down as a "seriously ill" patient was on the move via corridors. Then a coronavirus patient was wheeled by (on the other side of a glass wall) with the medic in full hazmat, the patient looking seriously ill and masked up & then the corridor disinfected before we were allowed though. Mega wake up call! Watch this and heed the advice. https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/videos/242511240113581/

I hope you get to go though but do be sensible...

Andy thank you for your reply ,Jet 2have stopped flights from NIreland do not now for how long  but things are not good even talking about 4months isolation for over 70s here 😱The view and experts advice stay home as Spain will be another severe case like Italy ,each day it gets worse.,A lot of people from Madrid ,Barcelona ,have went down to Costa to holiday homes etc to avoid virus but as experts said the virus shows no signs for 4/5days but you can be carrring it My Niece and her Husband boath teachers and live in Fungerola and they have closed the school,  I at this moment in time will not go as going out and about not a pleasure ,Keep safe and take care 😇👍🏻Deirdre
