The Liberal Party notes the increase emphasis being placed on self-isolation to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Firstly, the party would like to emphasise how community groups can safely support older people and other vulnerable groups during these difficult times.
Self-isolation restricts many groups from activities such as shopping, exercise and the social contacts which allow their wellbeing to be checked-on and delays prompt assistance.
We would ask people to be aware of those in their local community who may need a courteous check and to offer what assistance we can without compromising the isolation regime which is in place.
The current pandemic is expected to have a protracted impact on our daily life and community action can act as a stabilising factor.
