The government has revealed a 27-page battle plan to tackle coronavirus.

It says the outbreak could see a fifth of workers in the UK being absent, cause police to drop low-priority cases and force the NHS to delay non-urgent care.

In Swindon, one Moredon teacher has self-isolated after returning from abroad and two cases of the virus have been confirmed 21 miles away in Tetbury.

On social media there is concern but people have been warned not to panic.

Here’s what you said on Facebook:

Ben Fiocca: “Before the usual ‘well flu kills more people’ people comment, the death rate of flue is 0.1 per cent.

“One person will die in every 1,000. This virus is 2.5 per cent so out of every 1,000 people, two or three will die.

“Older you are, or have underlying problems, the higher the death rate.”

Allan Bott: “Stop panicking. As long as we sanitise, all will be well.

“More people have died of the flu.”

Jane Northcott: “At the moment you can only follow the health advice by washing your hands.

“Be aware of any symptoms or contact you may have. If you are financially fortunate to self-isolate, good for you, but I’m going to do my best for my family and get on with my life.

“Media scaremongering is everywhere and it doesn’t help putting fear into people’s minds who are more vulnerable than others due to their own health or age”

James Beckett: “So many Google health experts on here, puts my mind at rest.”

Naomi Lawrence: “Given that you can carry and spread the virus before you show any symptoms, I think it’s the right thing to do.

“I believe more people should be taking this seriously.”

Jennifer Breakspear: “I have no problem sending my son to school as normal. There is no problem at the school.

“More likely to die in a car but we still go in one.”

Roo Roo: “Don’t know why people so worried.

“The death tolls abroad so high are because they have to pay for health care and medications, so the poor probably can’t afford it.

“I have been to a hospital in London and been on tubes and trains and in Wiltshire hospitals, no point worrying.

“We have free health care and if we do catch it we probably won’t know we had it. Just keep washing your hands folks.”

Lindsey Cuthell: “Can’t believe the teacher is getting stick for self-isolating with no symptoms.

“You lot would soon have something to say if she had COVID-19 and didn’t isolate herself.

“Better to be safe than sorry.”

Gary Pollock: “It’s a flu-type virus, not the bubonic plague.”

Manda Thackray: “People have lost the damn plot.”

Charlotte Wakefield: “A total of 4.2 million people died from air pollution in 2016 but no-one’s talking about that issue.”

Karen Hart: “It’s a pandemic, it will spread.”

Benjamin Palfrey: “The government should have shut the country down.”

Loz Tilston-Brookes: “Wish people would stop panicking. It states that coronavirus has so far caused 2,600 deaths.

“Well in 2018 the number of deaths by the annual flu outbreak was 61,000, yet I don’t seem to remember such hysteria then.”

Arthur Leach: “If the teacher has come back from the far east or a Italian ski resort and feels unwell then since they are working with kids then self-isolation is the right thing to do until they are tested and the result comes in.”
