The British Prime Minister has announced a three week lockdown as part of tough new measures to slow the spread of Covid-19.
All shops selling non-essential goods in the UK are to close while people are only allowed go outside for a small number of reasons, like shopping for necessities and one form of exercise a day.
People can go to work, but only if absolutely necessary.
Boris Johnson says people should not be meeting our friends, or family members they don't live with.
