This chaps job is located in England he lives in Wales, since today there're 2 different laws in operation.  Currently living in Wales he can't leave his house unless his work is essential, it can't be as was staying home, now saying under Boris new plan for England he needs to go to work, so he must have been staying at home furloughed, or if self employed living off savings as I don't believe they get any money until June.

Common sense doesn't come into to it if you're living in Wales he can't go out, except for the above, which by definition he doesn't qualify or he'd not be asking the question.   

Common sense would say that he passes the problem onto his employers and ask them. If they say he must come in then I suggest the way forward is to ask them to provide a headed letter that he can carry if in the very unlikely event that he is jumped out upon by a copper disguised as a sheep on the Welsh English border.

No, unless you were on the essential work list e.g. NHS, Police, Fire, gas fitters, maintenance/repair, supermarket worker, delivery driver, postman etc or couldn't work from home, you was shut down.  That changed only today after Boris announcement on Sunday. 

You missed construction workers who were allowed to work but what happened was that it was the workers that started to get worried and did not want to come in to work.

So everybody who's been furloughed is really just a lazy sod................Hmmm interesting.  I'm not furloughed and have been working, my Mrs has been, are you saying my Mrs is a lazy sod and everybody else who's been furloughed?

Not lazy but within my circle I do not know one person who is not happy being given 80% of their wages to stay at home, the government are going to have a problem weaning people off this.
