It's after the Prime Minister told Brits who feel ill to stay at home for at least 14 days - which includes the whole family if you live with other people.

Susanna told her social media followers: "I am currently well but due to the new advice today I will be self-isolating for two weeks due to symptoms in my household. Stay well everyone."

Her co-host Piers Morgan quoted her tweet as he told his followers about the breaking news - and added a crying-face emoji.

He has been very vocal about his belief the government hasn't acted quickly or seriously enough to the pandemic.

Susanna tried to get him to calm down – as she pointed out that he had to respect the medical advice.

During another debate, she told him: “Let’s respect the government’s advice and not just keep shouting!”

He argued: “It’s not shouting, it’s concern.”

Today the PM drastically ramped up Britain's battleplan - shutting down mass gatherings and urging everyone to stop non-essential travel and contact with others.

Sick people should not go out of the house - even to buy food or essentials. Going for a run or walk is allowed, but only at a safe distance.

Boris said that means all Brits (around 66million people) staying out of pubs, clubs, theatres and cinemas for weeks - and potentially months into the summer.

All who can can should work from home, he said.

Piers shared a post telling sufferers not to "f*** it up" as he continued to warn everyone about the danger of coronavirus.

The message read: "Your grandparents were called to fight in world wars.

"You're being called to wash your hands and sit on the couch.

"Don't f*** this up."

Susanna added: "Sending huge support, strength and gratitude to all of our courageous @NHSuk staff and volunteers as they face this challenge."

On Monday NHS England said a further 21 people died after testing positive for Covid-19, bringing the total number of deaths in England to 55.

Overall confirmed cases in Britain surged to 1,543 - a jump of 171 more from Sunday.
