If you haven't got symptoms you should just go about your daily life at home as you normally would David.

Of course, you should follow good hand hygiene by regularly washing your hands, but if neither of you are showing symptoms then you don't need to distance yourself from your wife.

However, if one of you starts showing symptoms of the virus then at that point you would need to try and distance yourself: sleep in separate bedrooms perhaps, use separate bathrooms if possible and keep that two metre distance.

You mentioned that you have some underlying health conditions that make you vulnerable. There is specific advice on how you shield yourself from others for people who are in the most vulnerable groups, including chemotherapy patients for example. If you fall into that category then you should look out for that guidance.

Hello Elizabeth - local authorities are going to co-ordinate the grants for the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors but the loans guaranteed by the government are available through the banks.

These will be available, by contrast to the grants, to all sectors of the economy and you should apply through your bank.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak has promised the government-backed bank loans will be available starting next week and will carry no interest for months - so you should be able to walk into a bank branch and apply, if it's open.

It hasn't yet been made clear if and when applications can be accepted online.

Zero hours workers can claim sick pay. The problem is that to qualify for Statutory Sick Pay you need to have been earning £118 a week on average.

So if you have not had sufficient hours you might not be eligible. You might also need to have worked at the place for three months.

Paula sadly you are not alone in losing your job because of coronavirus. There are lots of people in this terrible situation.

You can try a claim for Universal Credit. In theory, you can receive the money from day one by asking for an advance payment - though in practice it can take a few days to arrive.

That way you avoid the usual five-week wait for Universal Credit. The problem is you have to pay back the advance later on.

Charities are calling for the government to halt repayments of advances.

The answer is yes, just as you would during the school holidays.

The energy companies have promised to help you if you have a prepayment meter.

So David, the options we are told will be on offer are: authorise a friend to top up your energy card for you or ask your supplier to send you a card by post which is already topped up.

The government is saying that if it’s urgent the supplier should be able to add credit directly to your account.

You need to ring the company and talk it through. The new scheme has only just been announced so we will have to see how well it works.

You should be able to top up online as well.

Hi Elliott - you can apply if you’re a business in the retail, leisure or hospitality sectors.

Local authorities will provide the grants and they will then be compensated by central government.

The Treasury is issuing guidance to local authorities in the coming days and local authorities will then write to those who qualify for the grants with instructions on how to claim.

Hi Matt, key workers are people who work within the public sector in roles that are vital to the infrastructure of the community.

They include teachers, police officers, armed forces personnel and NHS workers.

Your wife is looking after the most vulnerable in society and so she is likely to be classed as a key worker.

But hopefully there will be more clarification on this today from the government.

Well David, parents of teenagers will know it can be pretty difficult keeping them in when they want to see their friends.

It’s good for children to be able to interact and hang out with friends especially as there are so many things going on that may be causing them concern and anxiety.

Younger people tend to be less susceptible when it comes to Covid-19 but I think the main thing is that they follow guidance in how to protect themselves and others. So social distancing staying two meters away from friends, washing hands regularly are beneficial.

Close contact games like football are not a good idea in light of current guidance. It’s a confusing time for parents and children so talk with your son about how he’s feeling.

I’m sitting in front of the World Health Organization (WHO) website, external which has a huge amount of information on it, and it’s not just for scientists and doctors. In fact, there’s a series of myth-busters, external that have been developed by WHO.

There is a lot of misinformation out there – people look at social media feeds and see all sorts of stories. But it’s just a case of looking at where the story has come from and whether it’s an accredited organisation. Look for information from WHO or from your own individual country’s public bodies.

And of course, you can find all the latest coronavirus information on the BBC News website.

Our bodies are exposed to microbes, bacteria and viruses every day and we can fight them off.

If we get something like a flu virus generally we’ve been exposed to it before, so the body has a sort of “memory” of the virus and it can fight it off. Coronavirus is a new virus so no one has built-in immunity to it. But that doesn’t mean you can’t recover from it and people are recovering from it.

It means your body has to fight it off, and if you’re elderly or have medical complication that’s when it’s likely to be more serious. The majority of people can recover when they get it without needing special treatment.

What is being said is that it’s an average of five days, but there’s quite a lot of variability around that.

Some people show symptoms within a couple of days and some show symptoms much later. Some people get infected but don’t show symptoms at all.

It’s an unknown entity. We’re learning more about it every day.

It's an incredibly difficult situation for people providing childcare.

Nurseries, which are obviously slightly different, have been told they should follow the advice to close. They tend to look after a larger number of children.

You look after a much smaller number of children in your own home.

There's one extra bit of advice which has been given to schools in the last week which might help you.

If during the day you think a child is becoming unwell, you should take their temperature. if you're anxious about it they should be in a separate room from the other children until they're picked up. And the advice to schools has been to open windows for extra ventilation.

Reality Check

There's so much floating around online about coronavirus that it can sometimes be difficult to keep up with what's true and what's not.

One area in particular which has received a lot of attention concerns the safety of taking ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatories to manage the symptoms of coronavirus.

Alongside genuine medical advice, false messages have been spreading on social media. So what's the truth?

Medical professionals told the BBC that ibuprofen is not recommended for managing coronavirus symptoms. But those already taking it should not stop without consulting a doctor.

The NHS says although "there is currently no strong evidence that ibuprofen can make coronavirus worse", patients should take paracetamol until we have more information, unless a doctor has advised that paracetamol is unsuitable for you.

BBC Reality Check has taken a closer look at the stories circulating online - and separated fact from fiction.

You're not the only one Nuraddeen. People all over the world have been asking the same question since the coronavirus pandemic began.

Because Covid-19 is a new respiratory virus, scientists and governments all around the world are trying to work out the best way to fight it. Vaccine development is underway but for now the best protection is thought to be regular and thorough handwashing.

You should also:

• Avoid contact with people who are unwell
• Catch coughs and sneezes with disposable tissue
• Throw away any used tissues and wash your hands
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands

Many places, including the UK, are also recommending and implementing social distancing measures.

Generally, social distancing means trying to avoid contact with other people. But the UK's advice changes for different groups, so you may feel confused.

Everybody in the UK has been asked to stop non-essential contact with other people and to avoid all unnecessary travel.

The Department for Education says it’s focusing on those children who get free school meals because they are vulnerable.

Food poverty is a major issue for children who rely on breakfast clubs and free school meals.

Making sure these children are feed is a priority. So this doesn’t mean all children getting universal free school meals in key stage one, as you specifically asked, just those who are of particular concern due to poverty.
