It will be interesting to know just how they will enforce this if it is part of the plan to slow down the infection.
I suspect many over 70's live alone and if they are not to be allowed out how will they get the groceries and medication they will need.
If I was over 70 and taking a walk to my local shop/pub/cafe, what will the Police do with me. Lock me up in prison? Post an armed guard at my gate?
Think this is fake news designed to work up more hysteria.

If I was over 70 and living off a pension I wouldn't be going out at present. You can order groceries online and have prescriptions delivered or get a friend/relative to do so.
As it stands I have to work, at least whilst my customers arent closed for business and Ive already started to get cancellations. Ive ordered groceries online and Im not going to public places unless necessary.
For the over 70's I dont think self isolation will be enforcable but people will be giving you some funny looks if you're out and about

At my sisters request (NHS Oncologist) my parents (76 & 86) have been isolating themselves since the beginning of last week. Mum's taught herself how to do online food shopping and has registered for online banking.
Thankfully my sister is only three doors away, but only communicates via phone.

The usual Daily Wail claptrap I suspect.

The usual Daily Wail claptrap I suspect. Well if it is, then a number of newspapers are carrying it.
Boris Johnson ordered fresh action against the coronavirus last night amid fears that the pandemic is spreading faster than anticipated.
As the death toll in Britain hit 21 yesterday, after doubling in four hours, the prime minister ordered the government to accelerate plans to make the elderly and vulnerable stay at home possibly for several months and force whole families to self-isolate where one member has symptoms of the disease.
Johnson will chair a meeting today that is expected to impose the new rules this week — two weeks earlier than medics and scientists had expected last week.

Yes, having seen the ITV News link you posted in another thread, perhaps it isn't - this time!

We already do a bit of shopping for elderly neighbours but we draw the line at following their four legged shitting machines around with a plastic bag, they will have to make alternative arrangements..

+8 Rich Hope you never need to use one .Very unkind comment.
My father 98 was unfortunate to have to use one his dignity gone.
I know it is said in jest but please think ! I think he meanr 'a dog' when he refered to a four legged shitting machine.....
