Summary

Jane Garvey takes your calls on Covid-19. Joined by Psychologist Laverne Antrobus and Sarah Stewart Brown Professor of Public Health at Warwick University .

What measures are you putting in place? How will you manage with young as well as older children, do you face particular problems with those that have special needs. What about work ? If you are someone who can work at home do you have the tech to support that.

Have you thought about setting up a local neighbourhood support network? What provisions are you putting in place for older relatives?

How do you think you will cope with being socially isolated ? If you’re in cramped accommodation or shared housing, how do you see that working out.

What about the financial implications - if you’re on low income or a zero hours contract and perhaps rely on things like free school meals

We'd love to hear your thoughts. Lines open at 8am on Monday morning 03700 100 444. You can email via the website or tweet your comments @bbcwomanshour now.
