Neighbour sets up colour system for street As more and more people go into self-isolation in the UK, people are coming up with new ways to keep in touch with their neighbours.
One man in Ripon, North Yorkshire, delivered red and green paper squares to the other houses in his street.
He wants his neighbours to display green squares in their windows if they are OK, or red if they need help such as medicines or supplies.
His neighbour, Beth Crompton, who posted the photo below, says: "Even if every house has green in the window it's nice when you look around the street to know everyone is OK."
Chinese inquiry exonerates coronavirus whistleblower doctor
The Chinese doctor who was reprimanded for “spreading rumours” after he sought to warn colleagues about the emergence of Covid-19 has been officially exonerated by an investigation into his death. However the report has also been criticised for not going far enough, after it only recommended the reprimand against Dr Li Wenliang be withdrawn. Li had posted to a group chat with other medics about some patients showing signs of a new Sars-like illness in early December, well before Chinese authorities admitted to the outbreak of a novel coronavirus. Police detained Li a few days later for “spreading false rumours” and forced him to sign a police document admitting that he had “seriously disrupted social order” and breached the law. Officers said eight people had been disciplined for spreading rumours in relation to the virus, but it was not clear whether Li was one of those.

Coronavirus: NHS doctors to be given guidelines to help decide which victims should live or die Exclusive: Health chiefs act on tragic choices to be made if hospitals run out of intensive care beds or ventilators
Overwhelmed doctors will be given new guidelines to help them decide which coronavirus victims should potentially live or die if they run out of intensive care beds or ventilators. The criteria – expected to be issued on Saturday – are a recognition that hospitals are likely to be faced with terrible choices in the weeks to come and cannot be expected to make them alone.
They will cover patients with conditions including respiratory disease, cancer, heart disease and diabetes, although it is unclear whether they will also set an age limit above which treatment could be withdrawn.
