| When self-isolation was introduced, it applied to people showing symptoms of the virus. Others were free to go out and shop. Indeed, it was suggested they could do so to provide food for those self-isolating You refer to a stage when everyone was obliged to self-isolate and they were left to infer that they could go out to shop provided it was not possible to have food delivered, when, to use you word, it was “self-evident” that that was the case. If people were left to infer what the situation was, the situation was open to interpretation and, if interpretation was involved, then the instruction cannot have been “unambiguous”. Could you give the date of the instruction when people were instructed to self-isolate and left to infer that they could shop is they could not have food delivered? All I know is that on the March 23 when everyone was required to self-isolate, four exceptions were made, including shopping for food. There was no suggestion that they could only shop if it was impossible for them to have food delivered. I can find nothing in the statements made then and repeated later to suggest that was the case. You are stating it was. Upon what are you relying to hold that view? Please quote the government statement upon which you are relying. |
