Leicester lockdown: The loneliness of the lockdown city
Janet Perkins says she is fearful of leaving her home
Janet, 68, is a full-time carer for her husband Robert, who has leukaemia and son Damon, 29, who has autism. "I don't even hang my washing out any more. My husband is housebound, so none of us go out - other than to put the bins out.""I've got four other children, but they're all front-line workers so we can't see them," she says."The extension bothered me a lot," she says."It's depressed me something bad. I don't think I am going to go back outside again. I'm just too frightened.
"I would go and see my sister every Wednesday, meet up with a friend for a cup of tea on Thursdays but I haven't been able to see anybody for months," she says.
