An adorable yet heartbreaking photo of two young children saying hello to their grandparents through a window has been shared online.
The elderly relatives appear to be following government advice and socially distancing themselves, so the youngsters greeted them through the glass.
An ITV weatherman uploaded the image to his twitter page to share the self-isolating family still making memories.
Chris Page, shared the sweet picture, which was taken by one of his friends, which shows the children outside and their grandparents inside.
The tots can be seen raising their hands to the glass door as their grandparents and blow kisses.
Chris said: "The most adorable thing I’ve seen so far today.
"Remember, self-isolation doesn't have to be lonely if it's managed correctly."
Fellow ITV weather presenter Laura Tobin commented: "This makes me happy and also sad."
Over 70s are said to be in the vulnerable category and have been recommended to self-isloate for 12 weeks to protect themselves.
An estimated 1.4million people who are most 'at risk' from severe coronavirus will be sent a text message or letter advising them to stop all social contact.
Health secretary Matt Hancock said the very most vulnerable will be told to carry out social distancing measures in place for 12 weeks from Monday.
A fuller policy with details will be announced "in the coming days", a Downing Street spokesman said.
Mr Hancock said it was a "really big ask and really difficult" but are for "people's own protection" - adding people in those categories should “take themselves away from all social contact from Monday onwards”.
The 1.4 million people contacted will be those with particular underlying health conditions, who are most vulnerable to getting complications from Covid-19.
These people include:
- People with cancer who are undergoing active chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- People with cancers of the blood or bone marrow such as leukaemia who are at any stage of treatment
- People with severe chest conditions such as cystic fibrosis or severe asthma (requiring hospital admissions or courses of steroid tablets)
- People with severe diseases of body systems, such as severe kidney disease (dialysis)
Almost all those affected are expected to get a text message to their mobile phone before Monday.
