What if the essential people decide to stay at home because they haven't been given enough protection?

Hopefully sooner. This was the kind of decisive action we needed ten days ago.

Or there might not be enough workers available to keep essential services going, due to sickness.
Some councils have already suspended waste collections (ours has warned that they might have to reduce or suspend collections).

We are 14 days behind Italy's coronavirus crisis: when will Britons wake up to the sobering reality?
Mathematical modelling shows we are in lockstep with Italy’s terrible trajectory
The official guidance to intensive care doctors detailing the process for deciding who should receive critical care if rationing is required makes for sobering reading.
Agreed with NHS England and the relevant specialist medical societies, it was published on the website of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the early hours of Sunday morning.
It came at the end of a bright spring day in which thousands crowded city parks, farmers markets and seaside promenades despite government pleas for social distancing.
Perhaps we Brits do not grasp the fearful logic of the coronavirus’s exponential growth? Or perhaps we’re just not up for quarantine? Either way this weekend may be looked back on as a reckless nation’s last roll of the dice before the storm hit.
For make no mistake, the mathematical modelling shows we are in lockstep with Italy’s terrible trajectory, lagging just two weeks behind. Inigo Martincorena, group leader at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge, posted an analysis at the weekend which shows Britain’s numbers almost exactly mirror Italy’s in terms of Covid-19 cases and deaths.

Her sister Kazeema Nasreen, who works as a healthcare assistant at the same hospital, told Sky News that the family think she could have picked it up "virtually anywhere".
The 22-year-old healthcare assistant added that her sibling was on annual leave when she first started showing symptoms and doesn't think she picked it up from work.

On the DWP FB page.

If you’re already claiming benefits
Changes to jobcentre appointments
People receiving benefits do not have to attend jobcentre appointments for three months, starting from Thursday 19 March 2020.
People will continue to receive their benefits as normal, but all requirements to attend the jobcentre in person are suspended.
People can still make applications for benefits online if they are eligible.
Jobcentres remain open, and will continue to support people who are not able to use phones and online, including homeless people.

Changes to health assessments
In light of the current coronavirus outbreak, the Department for Work and Pensions has taken the precautionary decision to temporarily suspend all face-to-face assessments for health and disability-related benefits. This is aimed at reducing the risk of exposure to coronavirus and safeguarding the health of individuals claiming health and disability benefits, many of whom are likely to be at greater risk due to their pre-existing health conditions.
If you already have an assessment appointment arranged, you do not need to attend. Your assessment provider will contact you to discuss your appointment and explain the next steps to you.
If you have made a claim for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Universal Credit or Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) but do not have a date for an assessment appointment, you do not need to do anything. You will be contacted shortly by telephone or letter to let you know what will happen next.
If you are already receiving PIP, ESA, Universal Credit or IIDB you will continue to receive your current payments as normal.
If you have made a new claim or wish to make a new claim, DWP will continue to take claims for all benefits.

Have to agree with Paul - "claimed he implied" has too many caveats.
They should say what he said, not what they thought he meant to say (and I’m not a big DomCum fan).
