BORIS Johnson is expected to set out the next phase of the nationwide coronavirus lockdown this week – and he could let Brits meet their friends and family in limited ‘bubbles’.

It is understood that officials are looking at easing some of the lockdown restrictions and allowing small groups of people to socialise – but No10 has warned some measures could get tougher.

So could this idea allow Brits a little more freedom while still containing the coronavirus?

Here to answer that and more Sun reader questions is TV’s most-trusted medic Dr Hilary Jones.

In today’s episode of Ask Dr Hilary: Coronavirus Explained…

– My father is 85. He goes out pretty much every day. Today he was out for about two hours. He will not listen to me, and thinks he’ll be fine as long as he has his mask on! I’m finding this very stressful. What can I say to him?

– How many people who are admitted to hospital with COVID-19 later get discharged?

– How long can a person who has shown no symptoms but has been exposed to the Coronavirus be contagious?
