Question: Is it okay to move right now?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Government advice on home moving during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
section_headers: Advice to the public
People self-isolating or having tested positive for coronavirus
section_content: More detail on progressing the individual elements of the home buying and
selling or rental process and how this applies to different groups is set out
in the next section.
Moving home is not appropriate whilst you pose a direct risk of transmitting
coronavirus. People who have coronavirus or are self-isolating with their
family member should not leave their home to either move home, or undertake
property viewings.
If you are contractually committed to move home, you should delay your move
until all members of your household have come to the end of their self-
isolation period. All parties involved in home buying and selling should
prioritise agreeing amicable arrangements to change move dates for
individuals, or where someone in a chain or their family member is self-
isolating or has tested positive for coronavirus.
Should a move be essential for people in this category, for instance due to an
urgent health and safety risk, please contact Public Health England/local
public health teams for advice.

Covers the question well. Goes into detail about self isolating and moving in general precautions.
There seems to be a decent amount of information here.  The information pertains to moving.  I think someone with this question would find that it is helpful.

5. Agreeing to move

Once you have agreed to move home by exchanging contracts or signing a tenancy
agreement, you have entered into a legal agreement to move. We encourage all
parties to be as flexible as possible over this period and be prepared to
delay moves if needed, for example if someone becomes ill with coronavirus
during the moving process or has to self-isolate. You should not expect to
move into any home where people are ill or self-isolating.

Your legal adviser should be able to help you to ensure that any contract you enter into has sufficient flexibility to allow the purchase to be delayed in the event that an individual in one of the parties contracts coronavirus or has to self-isolate.
We encourage you to be as flexible as possible if you are asked to delay your move, and in turn, you can speak to your legal advisor about this.

1. Preparing to buy, sell or move home

You can put your home on the market and start to look for properties you want
to move into. If any member of the household being viewed is showing symptoms
or is self-isolating then estate agents should not physically visit the
property.

You can begin to market your home and estate agents are able to visit in order to take photos/videos of the property.
To help prevent the spread of infection, we encourage people to do the majority of their property searching online; for example only physically viewing those properties which you believe you are most likely to want to move into.
As usual, you can also start to bring together the documentation necessary to sell your property (more information on these documents is available in the government’s guidance on how to sell homes).
If you wish to buy a new build property you should make contact with the developer in the usual way. You should be able to view the show home or visit the particular plot you are interested in purchasing, although there will be appointment systems in place.
