STORY

Are you confused by the new local lockdown legislatio­n? Let us know your questions and we will try and get answers for you.

Victoria Richardson: In a democracy the government has less control over how people spend their time and what they believe. People are free to join clubs, political parties and other groups. ... In a dictatorsh­ip the government tightly controls all aspects of the state and will often ban or tightly control groups and meetings.

Stephen Stead: Yes 100% confused does this virus have a precise time ie does it hang around pubs and clubs till 10pm before it enters lol its absolutely crazy but hiho all about controllin­g the public

Connie Foster: And what, exactly, are the rules? Different outlets are saying different things, and often contradict­ing each other. Can we have a clear, specific article setting out what is/ isn’t allowed?

Allyson Turnbull: What happens if your having an operation can anyone come to your house to help you when you get out of hospital?

Ann Pattison: I can't fathom it , your not allowed to mix , with different households , who you have probably had in your bubble , but the kids are going to school , then coming home and mixing with family , my daughter and daughter in law , work in schools , which is impossible to social distance.

Lyndsey Hamilton: If some one is isolating can you go in there accommodat­ion to clean if thats your job ? Or is it no one in no one out rule ??

Shaun Sayers: There are people on here that will happily lecture you how to remove your own kidney at home, while simultaneo­usly claiming to be confused by words like “don’t” and “six”

Sara Hardy: Blame our councillor­s, they've requested further restrictio­ns to the GOV .

Bob Jackson: There's been so many changes and restrictio­ns that I feel totally lost and don't know where we're at

Rachel Laura Adams: Don't understand at all, so I cant meet up with friends or families from other households that I know, but can go to work with my staff and customers that I don’t know at all
