Call You and Yours: How is self-isolation affecting you?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

How is self-isolation affecting you? Some call it the 'pingdemic' - there's been a big rise in the number of people being asked to self isolate after contact with someone who has tested positive for the Coronavirus. Get in touch if your business has been affected, or if you've lost work and income, or even if you're stopping yourself doing things in case you get pinged. Or perhaps you feel safer in the knowledge that some people are being told to self-isolate. Are the large numbers of people being asked to self-isolate reassuring evidence that the system is working and keeping us safe, or has it all gone too far, with some people unnecessarily required to stay at home. Tell us - How is self isolation affecting you? Email [email protected] and don't forget to leave a phone number so we can contact you. From 11.00 am on Tuesday 20th July, you can call us direct on 03700 100 444. Producer: Jonathan Hallewell Presenter: Shari Vahl
