Take a look at the "excess death plans". This one is London-specific but all areas of the UK should have one: https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/gla_migrate_files_destination/London%20Excess%20Deaths%20Framework%20v1.pdf
Section 9 covers this, but there is doubt as to how practical it is.

Rerouter:
Thinking things over, I've got maybe 3-4 days of in house only work for perhaps say the lead in to things going bad, another 12-14 days of stuff that can be done at home, and then the rest would break into R&D and gap filling,

So if things went south, I could last about 3 weeks before I would have to consider taking leave... and then things get fun, because I deal with a lot of buses and transport trucks, so literally industries with the highest risk of catching and spreading, the doors will probably stay closed for longer than other industries.

Zucca:
Italian here, now you all will be at risk because my italian post is here!

I was in the north italy region last weekend. On Monday I was back in Germany.
Germans told me to work from my German home for the next 14 days.... Yuppieeeee

IMHO too much panic. No sense.

--- End quote ---

Easy, I just need a computer and a camera.
Sure, losing the lab would be huge, but it wouldn't hit my business financially much, and certainly wouldn't stop me making content. On the contrary, it would provide ready made drama material like my flood did.


--- Quote ---As for the kids staying home, treat it like the school holidays.
--- End quote ---

It's not that easy, during the school holidays you usually plan all sorts of full/multi day activities for the kids, so you often just drop them off and pick them up just like at school.
Having to stay at home with the kids for 2-3 weeks straight would be very different.

EEVblog:
And it just hit the first school in Sydney. Shut down tomorrow of course, but I expect they'll do a full 2+ week shutdown, because no one will want to have their arse on the line, and this will go all the way up to the health and education ministers etc who will back them.
Absolutely guaranteed other schools will get hit, just a matter of time.
