Q. First up, are you a lone parent?
Yes
Q. Have you had any problems in getting tested or self-isolating?
We are currently in isolation. As I do not own a car or motorcycle I cannot visit a test centre. I have so far had 4 postal tests. If I was required to buy food, then there are not only simply difficulties with booking a slot for delivery but we would need to consider the costs involved. My family do not live too far away. They themselves are elderly, vulnerable and without a car. I would not expect them to help. Sadly this could mean the rules were broken if I had to feed my family during isolation. Single parents have had to make many difficult decisions. It is not easy living in poverty during the pandemic.
