Michael Gove - strict new measures to tackle the spread of coronavirus.
Minister for the Cabinet Office on what is and is not essential, how will it be policed?
As far as possible - all of us must now stay at home.聽 We need a reason to go out - to shop for basic essentials, to exercise once a day, to seek medical care or help someone who is vulnerable - to travel to and from work, but only if absolutely necessary. That is the new guidance - and now it will be enforced - by the police.
Michael Gove is Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office.
