We would like to hear from over-70s who have been staying at home to shield themselves from coronavirus.
More than five weeks ago, the government told over-70s to be particularly stringent in following physical distancing measures – especially for those with underlying health conditions – and to limit face-to-face interactions to family and friends.
Many have not left their homes since then, and even before. The elderly have relied on family and friends, local charities and the government for food and medicine. But there are fears some may have fallen through the cracks.
