Good question. Latest evidence is of reasonable post-exposure immunity, but there is evidence of low levels of re-infection. Not many, but enough to consider it a risk. I would certainly shield to an extent like avoid supermarkets etc. ,but the odd quiet walk is likely to be Ok

Thanks. It's not for me I'm asking, luckily enough I've managed to keep well.
