FOR the Chee family, these are very unusual, troubling days. The father can’t drive his lorry so there’ll be no income, the two children have no school and everyone cannot step outside their flat – for 10 days. Friends and relatives have to buy food for them, leaving it outside their door. 

The family, featured in an afternoon tabloid, is one of 443 others (involving 860 people) who have been placed under quarantine at home.
