| Because of my age I do not go to the shops or outside of the home. I take my dog once a day literally round the block to enable him to do his business. The only rule I broke was to visit my mother on her 95th Birthday but we both stayed in her garden and were at least 2 metres apart at all times. I live with m6 daughter, son‐in‐law and teenager granddaughter but I only have my main Meal with them and most other times, I stay in my self‐contained apartment |

| Following the government guidelines and only going out food shopping once or twice a week for food shopping. However, I am going inside my mother's house (she is 93) to deliver and unpack shopping as necessary and to take in meals I have cooked for her

| I am currently 8 months pregnant so I am adhering to the guidelines as much as possible. In the previous 6 weeks I have spent 95% of my time at home, leaving only once per week to do the essential food shop or to go to our small farm to help my husband feed calves. I have stopped any visitors from coming to our home, our son has only been in our home or in our car to the farm and we have upped hand washing etc My husband however had to continue to work for the first 3 weeks as his employer was not ordered to close. Although they tried to adhere to the guidelines, he was continually coming into contact with many others. He has now been furloughed for 3 weeks initially however again as we have a small farm he has to come in to contact at agri supply stores, vets etc. We have found that rurally people are not as inclined to adhere to social distancing

| I am following the Scottish Governments' instructions. I live alone and have compromised mobility. My groceries are delivered. I have gone out once for a G.P. appointment ‐ not Covid‐related. I drove to the G.P. surgery and back and came into contact with no‐one other than my G.P. I wore a mask when out. Otherwise, I wash my hands where and when appropriate. I do these things because the advice given is sensible and relevant. This is a very dangerous virus. I make contact with others by telephone and the Internet

| I am following them all, but some of the instructions are open to interpretation and some other people may not agree with my interpretation. For example, some days I may go on a long walk or cycle ride (perhaps 2 or 3 hours), just as I would have done before Covid, but I will maintain distances etc. Also, I may drive a few miles to a different place for a walk. Also, I have visited a shop to buy non‐food goods, which some people seem to think is wrong |

| I am staying at home unless I need shopping. Usually once a week. I speak to my neighbours at a safe distance. I have arranged to have some meals delivered so that I don't need so much shopping. I wear mask and gloves in shops, If I have worn the gloves, they get washed that night. I wash and sanitize my hands. If my sister has anything for each other. She leaves it outside her house and I go there, collect it and leave my bag. My friends dog died and I would normally have given her a cuddle. I felt dreadful because I could not go to her. I consider myself one of the lucky ones because I have a garden and lots of indoor interests to keep me occupied. When I am shopping, I ask my friends if they need anything and get it for them to save them going out. Most of them do not drive or have a nearby bus service. One of them the bus service has been stopped. However, I do not take anyone in my car. No one has been in my car since the lockdown only a dog. |

| I live alone and i now work from home in both of my jobs and socialize with friends online only. I was in a kind of non‐committal sexual relationship with someone who lives alone and a 2‐ walk from my house and we spent the weekend together before the lockdown and were together when it was announced. It would have been crazy to propose we move in together for the lockdown and neither of us wanted to so that so we agreed to only have contact with one another but we do that across two households. I think that if i did not do this i would be in a much worse mental state and very lonely as my family do not live in the same city and my friends are not in a situation where i could move in with them, plus i want to security of being in my own home, however I'm aware it is a 'cheat', it is not allowed so I'm scared people at my work will ask me about it because i am a bad liar. In terms of exercise i go for runs and sometimes longer walks for a few hours, this is also a good way of pas |

| Only travelling to work one day a fortnight (I’m a teacher on a rota). Not having physical contact with anyone apart from my immediate family. Only using the car to go to work occasionally and drive once a week to buy food. Washing hands more often. Remaining as far as physically possible from people; we spend quite a bit of time chatting to friends and neighbours from opposite ends of garden paths though. Haven’t been in anyone else’s house for 6 weeks. I do leave the house more than once a day to exercise though; I go for a run in the morning then walk the dog in the afternoon because if I don’t run then I’ll go mad and the dog won’t run with me. |

| Washing hands after shopping / being out. Washing hands more regularly. Keeping at least two metres away from people where possible. Only going out for exercise and shopping. This advice is given to the government by experts and therefore I am following it. |

| Stay‐at‐home all the time, keep a distance of 2 metres from anyone who delivers anything, wash hands for 2 minutes frequently, get food and medicines delivered, … it's been more difficult to get my 19‐year‐old son to always follow the instructions at first, he was still seeing his girlfriend at weekends, but I explained to him that they had to make a decision and how dangerous it was. it took some time for them both to take it seriously but now they do. I think the mixed messages from government didn't help at that stage. now they stay apart |
