The government has sparked confusion about who can and CAN'T go to work today - after appearing to go back on messages last night that only listed 'key workers' could leave the house.
The Prime Minister ordered people only to leave their homes under a list of “very limited purposes”, banned public gatherings of more than two people and ordered the closure of non-essential shops.
Large numbers of self-employed people - including builders and plumbers - were asking if that meant they could go out, as it was 'absolutely necessary' for them to leave home to work.
Last night social media messages from the government were repeating the line that the exception was only 'if you are a key worker'.
