    Following the PM's address to the nation last night, family video calls this evening are going to be interesting...

    Who can meet who? Where? And if only one grandparent gets to say hello to their grandson - who gets first dibs?

    The crucial information people are asking for today will come out in stages.

    The government’s plan is due at 14:00 today, then Boris Johnson speaks in the House of Commons a little while after.

    Unions in Yorkshire have criticised the lack of detail, saying no one should feel like they’re being forced back to work.

    People will be encouraged back to work on Wednesday if they can’t work from home, but employers are only getting guidance on how to do that tomorrow.

    The confusion of who can see who is filling a lot of WhatsApp chats at the moment.

    You get the impression the government press conference later will have more questions than a family Zoom quiz.
