People with diagnosed chronic health conditions (for example heart conditions, cancer, diabetes ), those that are newly post-op, new mothers, and the elderly need to be particularly careful to stay active, fit, and healthy when self-isolating indoors.

Many of her colleagues, including GPs, are also providing healthcare in this way, and it looks like it will be the way health and physiotherapy care will provided to many in the future. Don’t worry that telephone and video physiotherapy might not be as good as attending in person, a lot can still be achieved.
